I only want kids in class who want to learn. Kids who want to learn will
follow rules, however mundane they may be, just to be in class. Kids who
don't want to be in class, what exactly are they learning if they don't
want to be there? I've been in some of those lower level classes
(because of scheduling or whatever), and they are just babysitting
classes. The teachers have no control. My brother was tracked to those
classes and when I remarked to him how awful it was, he said it's always
like that. If you keep them in school no matter what, those are the
classes you get for the ones who don't want to be there.

Maybe you need to watch *To Sir With Love*,

What's it about?

I think that's what it's called.
You can't just pick and choose kids for a particular school.

Depends on the school. Some schools can be more selective. You can
sometimes pick that school.
