Is that a bad thing? Why should thugs and morons be the lowest common
denominator in schools, setting the level for everyone else?
I know everyone likes to point to European schools as a model but the
first thing you see there is they discriminate against students who
can't keep up and who are dragging the rest of the class down.
They get sent to "academically challenged kid" school and end up as
laborers if they can't compete in more advanced classes.
We will not do that here because they would not like the lack of
diversity that results ... in both schools ... even when challenged
kid school gets the most money (Montgomery County got in trouble for
that)

Some public schools seem to do a better job of side stepping that
issue than others by creating a "school within a school" that has
invisible walls. Both of my kids attended public schools with a very
diverse student body but those with good learning skills and academic
potential had their own program for all intents and purposes. It
seemed to work well for everyone and I never heard any complaints
about discrimination. Kids who were disruptive were dealt with very
firmly.
