jimmyle, point taken. Yes, I’m an engineer. I take my number from salary.com but you can be correct on the “average” pay of the other engineers.
BG, there’s a big different between pushing the kids to their max potential vs being available to answer questions if the kids have one. When the teachers are too busy spending all their times helping to lower performing kids to raise the class average, the smarter kids will be neglected. They’ll be just fine but they’re definitely not being push to their max potential.
BTW, choicing out of school is an option, but voucher system take that to a whole new level. It’s like our university system. You don’t choice out of a university, you apply to a university. It should be the same thing for grade school. You have the Harvard level schools and you have the JC level schools or even vocational schools. Not all kids are cut out to go to college. While waste their time and our money teaching them algebra and calculus when they rather lear how to build a house or a car? There are schools for all level of capabilities. There’s a reason why our higher education are top rated and our primary schools are not. If we don’t want to look outside, then just look inside and implement primary schools like secondary schools.
