No, we can't stop it. Not when government educators claim that they
can give individual instruction to each student in the same classroom
when the range of the students' IQs can range from 50 to 150 (due to
government school policies of inclusion and heterogeneous classrooms).
I strongly contend that it is not possible and when our children
attended a government school, before we started to home educate them
six years ago, we saw first hand that the government schools couldn't
and wouldn't challenge our sons in math.
