I dont know, but it is seriously affecting our school system.
I live in the netherlands now but I lived in America for my entire life. Here, we seperate the kids from their abilties. after middle school, the kdis are seperated into two different high schools one for training and one for becoming a university student. You can go to the university school if you proove your abilities in the technical school. Its not impossible to switch over or something. People here might see it as bad but I think it gives those kids a chance who show the aptitiude for wanting to learn the ability to learn and compete with others around them. In america, the standards are getting lower and lower in universities so that we can have a bigger student body and they cant get more money flowing into the schools. That is so stupid! If you cant pass math 101 then you shouldnt be in college in the first place or atleast get a tutor! You are affecting those people's abilitiy who can learn by dumbing their education down
