The curriculum is bad beyond question. However, whether it's really valid to measure how "smart" a group of people are on the basis of standardized tests is dubious at best.

Most children are full of energy and always looking for something to do.
LOL! I agree that they are full of tons of energy. But suddenly when it comes time for cleaning their rooms, washing dishes, helping out around the yard,etc they are SOOO tired! No energy for that sort of thing. I am sure most parents know what I am talking about.
Dont get me wrong, they do it but not without all the theatrics. Its kinda of funny actually.
