B-b-b-but if we don't drill students with 6 hours of homework a night starting in first grade, some arbitrary comparison to test results in another country that may be inaccurate and/or focused on rote memorization may be a tiny bit lower! And we might not identify little boys who are too hyperactive for teachers to handle, label them ADD, and drug them into submission! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

I think a lot of school often does more to fuck up a student than help them. And it's only gotten worse over the last 10-15 years. A lot of the teachers don't help either; I know from first-hand experience. Plus, I've talked about this on many occasions with my mom, and she has stated that when she was in college, a lot of the people who were flunking out of other programs ended up going into the education program. Kinda scary to think about, as is the gross overuse of ADD medication - I've heard a lot of stories from people who were fucked up but good from it.
