Just reviewing the test scores from the state mandated WASL here (sort of a weak version of SAT or ITBS). There are a whole bunch of people dumber than moss on the north end of a tree in school. There is no curve to grade against. The test has a 100% up to speed/par on what they taught/know cut off, as well as ability to far surpass par. The kids get stupider as they age, and by the time they are 15 most schools are having fewer than 40% score par. This is sad, since par enables you to get a good job pushing a broom or shovel.
