The school system's inabaility to deal with
anything other
than the mean (which they insist on defining) is one of the
primary reasons home schooling has really taken off the last
few years.
It's worse than that. It's not even the mean anymore. It's the
lowest student.
Personally, I believe that the lowest students whould recieve some
of the spotlight. If they don't get attention, they will probably end
up not making a living, etc. and will thus hinder society. We need
to get these people to where they can work. But let's face it: They
won't be rocket scientists, won't win a Field Award or a Nobel
Prize, and won't be regarded as a genus of our time. But they'll be
working.
But I think that more attention should fall on the people who CAN
be rocket scientists, Field/Nobel winners, etc., as they can greatly
improve everyone's life. Too many have already been ruined by
lack of attention.
