<p>I’d agree with that point to an extent. It’s definitely part of the problem. Students aren’t getting interested enough in their fields to develop a passion for them.</p>
<p>However, I’d argue that this really comes back to holding everyone to the same standards. Kids that aren’t quite as bright are struggling to keep up, so their minds are consumed with simply struggling to learn the material that they’re being taught…they don’t have time to develop a passion for what they are learning. Conversely, the high achieving students are more or less being held back, because the classes aren’t able to move as quickly as these students might be capable of moving.</p>
<p>Our public education system has a lot of problems, but it’s really a result of numerous issues all adding up to one big problem.</p>
