People let schools get away with this because, in the simplest terms, they don't think they can do anything about it. They see the education system as something massive that overpowers everyone and they can't change a single thing- even if that thing hurts people (or even has the potential to). This is one of those situations where I can honestly say - Speak for yourself. I vividly remember when I was a kid and I went through a crap school - My parents single handedly brought the school board to their knees through a year long campaign involving the media, parental interest groups, the county, and legal action. The result was a situational staff turnover of over 50% in that school and complete restructuring of the local school board over the following school year as a direct result, including both the principle and vice principle. ...All from 2 parents to begin with. That's... awesome. Are there any articles about that? I'd love to learn more. Seriously, wow.

That was back in about 1993 I think. There was month where there were local TV stations out to our house to interview my parents atleast once a week! (Including CBC...For all the Americans, that's the Canadian version of BBC)

Honestly, this is all disgusting. There are kids in my Seventh Grade class who can barely pronounce the word "Himalayas" and misspelled the Spanish word "Dose" as "does," and they've never been put into special ed.
