[quote=WCTMAN,321129]A small clarification: the term is Dumbing Down, and it implies that the curriculum is designed to ensure, to a larger extent, that the less "intellectually gifted" students can advance through the system. That is, the mandate is that all students pass, rather than most passing with a handful failing. Clearly, this type of system is detrimental to the brighter kids, who must suffer through school with little in the way of a challenge. The option for the parents is to seek out private schools which are geared towards a more difficult curriculum. In Canada, the pay is decent, and the amount of vacation time exceeds other jobs by quite a large margin. On the other hand, teachers have their hands tied behind their backs in many ways, since they have very little latitude in the way of disciplining the kids, and kids know this. And many, if not most, parents refuse to believe that their "little Johnny" can be a big proctological nuisance in the classroom, and the teachers cannot strike, detain, demote or otherwise punish disruptive behavior without having parents and the school administration demanding an explanation. As a result, many teachers quit the profession. [/quote]
