Are the classes still going to be slowed down to the dumbest and laziest kid in the class, or are there going to be some minimal standards? Are teachers that waste half the class time playing on their cell phones still going to be common?

I get the feeling this is a rhetorical question but....No.

You could certainly homeschool if you can do better.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but seeing as how the curriculum and level of rigor get HARDER in middle school but due to puberty, kids' behavior, attention span, and work ethic simultaneously get WORSE, your kid(s) is the one you should be worried about and not so much the teacher.
