Here in NE Ohio, Cleveland schools have only a graduation percentage of around 30%, hows that for no one left behind. If you look in depth into this subject it will scare, and infuriate you, at what is happening in the classroom.
Then theirs the University system,which is totally inept, in all of this its the system to blame, their are many good teachers and professors doing their best.
The bottom line is that the classroom of 50,100,or even 150 years ago were superior in many ways compared to todays classroom. Just look at the McGuffey Reader used in the mid 1800's and see the quality of what a third grader had to be able to read and comprehend.
