I agree with part of what you are saying but I also disagree. Many “problem” students, as they are often called are just misunderstood. They tend to be bored, under challenged due to mainstreaming, struggling to keep up, or bored due to the teaching styles being used. Much of these problems were greatened by the requirement of standardized tests and accountability. Granted teachers should be accountable for their students to some degree but basing their job off of a test is not the way to do it.
