I think most teachers and administrators know that not all students learn by the same method or at the same pace. I don't think the problem lies on the human side of this, as much as an antiquated system that, as you say, is incapable of being flexible. Compulsory education must end so that freedom and technology can correct the system. I wrote a post on this, feel free to check it out.

I've known some good teachers as a student and later as an adult encountering new students. I've seen firsthand the light go out of that teachers eyes as they are confined almost in a strait jacket to limit them from actually teaching. It becomes more about the standardized tests and shoving children into molds. It doesn't work and it seems to be getting worse.
