The school system is really best for the kids-in-the-middle, i.e. not the best fit for the really talented, as the case with this MIT kid here, neither is it for the D&#x2F;F students. Public school was originated in Europe for training workers if memory serves me right.<p>Since Bush the public education system is more geared towards to the D&#x2F;F students nonetheless, i.e., the no child left behind policy, a road to hell. This might have something to do with Bush, who is about a D student himself.<p>A solution I would like to see, is tax-relief for home-schooling families, they don&#x27;t use the public education system so why pay for the school district property tax? This looks like a win-win for the family and the nation in the long run.<p>Human races compete and evolve, focusing on the left-behinders are so against nature, yes they should be taken care of, but the focus really should be on the other side.
