The Dumbing-down of America

The "good" news is that 33% of American 4th-graders and 8th-graders are now performing at grade level (up from 25%); the BAD news is that 67% still are not! Are testing standards really that unrealistic, or are our kids really that dumb, or is our educational "system" really that broken?!

If all parents were able to send their kids to the best school in town, wouldn't we wind up with one school per town?!
