There are plenty of smart kids out there. Remember No Child Left Behind? They have to count the stupid ones now.

I know there are plenty of smart kids out there, but they are more and more outnumbered by dumber and dumberer kids.

Unfortunately, the smart kids have to sit in the same classrooms as the dumb ones. We have to dumb everything down to the least intelligent students, because God forbid someone get's their feelings hurt when they constantly do worse than the rest of the kids in the classroom.

Dumbing everyone down is just part of what will ultimately make them 100% unable to take care of themselves as adults, and 100% make them rely on the government for all of their needs. They'll become slaves at that point, doing whatever menial task they are told, just so they can survive.

I couldn't agree more. Being a gifted child in the same classes as less intelligent pupils is a worthy depiction of HELL.
