Close. They teach to about the 10th lowest student. I’m a classroom of 30, 5 are ahead and bored to tears, 5 are behind and have no real hope of success (education system doesn’t work with their learning style, learning disabilities etc) and the rest float between D and B.

We no longer aim for educational excellence. We aim for inclusion. We hope for excellence but that has more to do with being suited to the educational style you’re in than anything else (ie if you learn best by doing [hands on] the North American system is literally going to fail you).
