Public Schools vs. Private Schools.

[AChimp]

Yeah. What about dumb kids?

See, during the entire 13 years that I spent in public school, I saw lots of dumb kids. The kind of kids who just didn't want to be there, whether it was private or not.

You see, the main reason that it appears schools are doing bad is because of the rampant levels of dumb that are present in society. If you reduced the dumb people, only the smart people would be left, and they are the ones that do well on the standardized tests.

My Grade 12 English class ended up with a 60% average on the provincial exam because of all the dumb kids who failed. Now, did they fail because the teachers were bad? No, they failed because they didn't care about. Did the teachers do a bad job of motivating the kids? Maybe. That's hard to prove. They certainly looked like they were bending over backwards for them to me, but what can you do when someone doesn't show up to class anymore? Legally, there's no requirement to be in school once you're over 16.

All these dumb kids would just end up in private school under your system, and everything would still suck.
