The Soviet system graduated 5 million HS students with 2 years of calculus because teachers were not allowed to use the fallacious concept of IQ as we do in this country. As a result student potentials were allowed to flower.Agreed Gary! There was much good in the Soviet education system. If you showed an aptitude in any area all resources were at your disposal to assist in blossoming and it benefited society as a whole.
