    In non-academic schools, academic talent does not equal power. It is the fault of the schools for having an anti-education agenda. They all pretend to be pro-education, but are really just baby-sitters (or childsitters, or teensitters), who artifically over-value jocks, and appease the rich brats. Few schools nurture academic talent, or the love of knowledge.
