Teach to the middle (Score 1)

The problem with the education system today is that it attempts to teach the middle. By this I mean that exceptional students, those on both ends of the bell curve, are pulled toward the center. Consequently the gifted are hobbled and the challenged disenfranchised. The easiest way to counter this is to have a more segregated class situation where subjects are taught in disparate, but skill-level appropriate, groups.
