Why Schools Don't Work Anymore

The media never tell you why American schools don't perform. They complain about lack of funding, low expectations, poverty, discrimination, lack of parental involvement, teachers's unions, lack of minority role models. But they never do tell you about the low quality of students. The media acts like all students will perform the same if only  they had the same opportunities. But as any parent knows, all children perform differently. They have different abilities. And today's students have lower abilities than public school students did in the past.
