oh i agree its not completely acurate and there are some duff teachers that cant enforce discipline and get walked over by the kids because they are brainy but dont have communication skills for example.Or to put it better have brains but cant teach

there used to be a thing in place where kids who were slower at learning didnt hold up those that could learn and that was called remedial class

only problem is that now you cant put teh slow learners in a seperate class where they got intensive teaching to get them up to speed so they can rejoin the kids who were learning at a normal rate because someones feelings might get hurt

i know of at least 3 remedial kids that ended up going into the A band and did even better than expected once they had had some dedicated teaching so it can work
