I attended public schools K-12. They were a disaster. Why? Every child of a certain age who lived in a certain ZIP code was there. I attended a private university. It was a more pleasant environment in which to learn because most of the people wanted to be there and most of them weren't stupid. Then I want to law school. It was as much of an improvement over college as college was over high school. Almost every person wanted to be there and almost everyone was whip-smart, certainly way smarter than me. Sadly, if there are more elite levels of education where everyone is even more dedicated to learning and even more intelligent, I probably won't be invited to them, because I would be such a tremendous distraction to those people with my tiny brain and low effort. Your thought experiment just obliterated this system and I'm not sure why. How would your model improve some facet of the existing system?
