Here's what happened. A bunch of stupid people (we'll call them liberals) became college professors. They "taught" (brainwashed more like it) other stupid people to become "teachers." Those "teachers" joined unions which promote the ideas that teachers are underpaid and overworked. So they give the teachers more money to work fewer hours (more vacations, 6 hour work days) and teach fewer students (smaller class sizes).

Then the teachers decided they weren't teaching the right stuff or the right way. Enter political correctness and the movements to teach children about diversity, alternative sexual lifestyles, the scientific facts of the religion of evolution and other dogmatic belief systems of today modern liberal thinkers. The need to end competition in the class became apparent when some students lagged behind others which damaged the "self-esteem" of the stupid kids. It was necessary to dumb down the curriculum so that everyone could keep up (and because the "teachers" really weren't very well educated themselves thanks to the liberal college professors).

This is just some of what is wrong with todays schools. If we really want to improve education in America, we should give the teachers IQ tests, and then fire the bottom 1/3.
