Two of the biggest problems that have infected the educational leadership of this country is the concept of 'childrens rights' and 'self-esteem.' Tracking is a wonderful idea... get the kid into an environment that works best for the level he/she is at. Unfortunately it has been tried(holding back a grade) and scrapped because of our lawsuit happy culture going after these 'offenses' against student's self-esteem. So now instead of encouraging those that want to learn we have to cater to those that could care less.
