There are many things wrong with the educational system. Educators are realizing that "surprise surprise" all children are not equal. All are not alike. Each child is unique. This is why homeschooling and private schools have been found to be superior in helping children who once were struggling in mainstream public schools.

I read an article in the Reader's Digest recently and it can be found here. http://www.salon.com/2013/08/26/scho...ging_our_kids/ The article is called "School is a Prison."

I think that trying to fit every child into exactly the same mold is what is at the heart of the problem of the public school education system today.
