You can't make much being a parts changer, that's for sure.

If you can fix an emissions problem right the first time, that's worth a whole lot more.

Obviously this is just an anecdote, but my public school classes have always been mostly homogenous in terms of academic ability.

This is in high school, but the AP (or IB) / Honors / Regular class system works very well, in my experience (at least for those kids in the AP classes.)

The latest addition to John Stossel's ongoing series of columns based upon his research for the "Stupid in America" Special is here: School Competition Remains "Unproven" (sarcasm)
