We're all about the top tier here, at least since Reagan, and probably since George III. Eigth graders in New York have to go through a crazy complicated admissions process to see where they're accepted for high school.
Parents fighting like wolves (who wouldn't?) to get their kid in the best school. We're so unequal here, economically, that nobody really wants their kid going to the schools in the ghetto, with more poverty, crime, gangs, drugs, and less hope, chances, facilities, and safety.
America? Separate and unequal. And we want to rake the teachers over the coals? Over test scores? Fraudulent patriots and their ruse of caring for each and every child.
Really? Gosh, Where's the anger and committment to end poverty and economic disparities? Nowhere, man. We pick on the small fry, afraid of the master. Afraid of the real deal. Politically impotent, yet anger directing towards the small fry. You lie. We lie.
