Why would you feel it's a bad idea and or satire?

  "A Modest Proposal" is the name of famous satirical essay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal It involved selling children for cannibalism. As Wikipedia notes: > In English writing, the phrase "a modest proposal" is now conventionally an allusion to this style of straight-faced satire. Opening with that title, complete with correct capitalization, reads like an allusion. It's enough to make me think exceptionally skeptically about a proposal to turn gifted students into what is sometimes euphemistically termed peer educators.
