to younger and younger children is to weed these kids out as early as possible, and to track them out of higher education, including and even high school.

Kids who can't master abstract concepts would be labeled "special ed" and warehoused through the system until they are pushed out or drop out of school.

Remember, the neoliberal "reformers" aren't interested in creating an educated citizenry or providing a means for upward mobility; instead, our kids must compete with the Chinese.

Case in point of inappropriate curriculum: Geometry is being shoved down the throats of kindergartners.
