今回は、英文要約の添削をお願いします。原文と、その解答としての「要約英文」は、以下の通りです。よろしくお願いします。
What has made nonsense of most modern education in North America is simply the misapplication of the democratic belief that all men are created equal. Nobody believes this in anything that matters to the common man: the common man does not for an instant believe that an untrained fighter is the equal of the trained one, or that a boy with slow reflexes can play baseball like Babe Ruth or Ted Williams.
But in education it is convenient to believe that all men are created equal, and this has been the main difficulty ever since any of us alive can remember. In order to be true to the democratic idea, our schools for years have supported a system in which excellence has been sacrificed. The intelligence level of the not too bright literally controls the curriculum, and able pupils are compelled to do their work at the slow learners’ pace.
This was already the case when I went to school. Since then a flood of new theories has invaded the system with results which would have horrified even the liberal teachers and parents of my day. In some educational philosophies it is argued that it is practically a form of cruelty to expose a dull or lazy child to the competition of excellence, so giving grades such as A, B, or C is abolished. Failure, it is claimed, will turn the dull boy into a neurotic. It never occurs to people who think like this that frustration will do the same for the excellent boy.

解答: The democratic belief in North America that all men are created equal is simply <the>(→a) misapplication. The common man does not believe that unefficient students can do like those <well-educated>(→well-trained). However, in education, the misunderstanding that all men are created equal is accepted.
It is common that the curriculum is made according to the students whose level is low, which sacrifices competent students. To expose a dull or lazy child to competition <of>(→for) excellence is considered <as>(→削除) a cruel act, so giving grades such as A, B, or C, is abolished since the dull boys get depressed because of that. However, this never occurs to excellent boys.
よろしくお願い致します。
