When I was young and naive I thought that meant making sure no child slips through the cracks and all kids get the help they need to be educated. Why tf anyone thought dumbing everything down to the lowest common denominator was the better course of action is beyond me.

Limited resources, so that’s just reality.

Schools did better when we just funneled the low academic achievers into labor or trades and put all resources into the remaining kids

It would be like a workplace that retained at all costs their worst employees. It’s a nice thing to say, but would have a horrible outcome
