[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that there are no easy answers here but what has happened is that increased budget towards these programs has resulted in a mediocre environment for achievement. The push is not for excellence or merit, the push is let's cater to the ones at the bottom and we don't care about the ones in the middle or the top, well they have parents who can take care of them. This is what drives me mad, I would like to hear more about spending on programs which make kids competitive, foster an environment for learning.[/quote] +1. If the point is not learning, then what is the point of sending my kids anyway? Why do I have to worry about things like taking my kids out for a two-week vacation if the minimum educational standards are all we're going for? Seems like it would give the teacher time to work with those who need help. [/quote]
