No system is perfect and the larger the entity, the more inclined to error. This holds true for business, government, corporations, etc. In order to succeed, each organization must constantly work to improve it’s product, service, etc., except in the age of equality. When the goal becomes equality of outcome, the need for self improvement decreases and there is a sinking towards the lowest common denominator. We are facing this problem today in many parts of our society including, unfortunately, our schools. Without high standards and the support that goes to help insure those high standards, we face a downward spiral that is almost impossible to reverse.
