Poor Education

Education today is very poor, our children are on lower levels of learning. Classrooms are geared nowadays to the smallest percentage of slow learners. There seems no middle ground can be found by our learned educators. What is causing them to create a backward landslide into an abyss of poor education? Our children are beleaguered by mediocre teachers who feel threatened by bright students. They are putting out the bright lights of many smart children, because of this. What will our future hold, how optimistic will it be with scientists and world leaders who have only poor educations?
