The other issue is severely mentally deficient students. Maybe I am just from an inbred, hillbilly part of the the country, but I had a number of students in my classes going through school that probably couldn't crack 75 on an IQ test. And I'm not counting the students that were in the severe and profound program, for the retarded and Downs Syndrome.
It's a huge disservice to lump these students in with the others. The students that can actually do the work get held back (and I'm not talking about the high-level students, (who are usually brutally retarded in their development, unless they take matters into their own hands), this impacts the mediocre students as well).
