It's the teachers who think everyone should have the same grade. Not a bad position, but they do not instill the sense of pride, self starting, movtivation, or excellence via one's own work ethic. The teachers choose to dumb down everyone so the lack luster kids don't feel bad. Well, if you don't encourage the kids towards being better than the average, then none of the kids will ever amount to anything other than takers from the Great Uncle Sam. What happens to those kids ten, heck even twenty years from now when they cannot read, write or do basic math problems? You get a society of people who will never produce anything and always demand their fair share from the producers. But once the producers stop producing, then there will be anarchy because Uncle Sam will not allow for either side to win. All it takes to turn this around is to hire good teachers who care about teaching and have a school administration that lets them teach, instead of indoctrinate.
