I completely agree with you. Our education system is so intimately tied to socioeconomic status as well. Notice how much better private schools and wealthy school districts are doing than the poor ones. It isn't that the students are that much brighter. It's because of the lack of resources (lower salaries for teachers, not enough books or proper equipments or tools, etc) for the poorer schools.

Thank you for your post. Yes, what you said is one of the many examples of what the American education system is doing or not doing to prepare students.
