This chapter analyzes the bell curve's presence in the deep structure of school evaluation and measurement, as well as, unconsciously, in the minds of teachers and educators. The bell myth shapes a reality of worthlessness for most children. It establishes academic achievement as the only worth-scale in education, granting worth to a small and predetermined number of students while excluding the remaining majority.
