You wouldn't want an IQ that high, the greater the genius the bigger the holes in his socks as far as I'm concerned. But as far as the education system goes - I don't pretend to know what the answer is. In fact, I'm required to do an assignment at the moment that involves an argument of some sort, and I was going to choose the education system as the topic. I've since scratch this idea, because in all honesty I just don't know what the solution is.

Albert Einstein was a relatively poor student. Bit of a dreamer (much like myself) and didn't really go anywhere until late adulthood. My heart goes out to any student that is genuinely struggling with study, because I for one know what it feels like to "fail" Loosely speaking, part of the problem in my opinion is teacher student related. Most academics generally only have time for other academics, too many students are quickly written off! Additional efforts should be made on the teacher's part to identify & remedy the situation, not just brush it under the carpet! There's a lot of intelligent people out there that simply can't learn entirely through aural alone. My IQ hasn't always been 120.
