Ultimately, improving high school education should to lead to smarter, more imaginative students, who focus less on grades and more on their aspirations. I don't see how this couldn't lead to even more entrepreneurship.
* Getting grade inflation under control will help demonstrate to students that results come from work, not from handouts. Entrepreneurs have probably the best grasp of this idea.
* The average founder probably has a much better grasp of probability than the average high school graduate. This doesn't seem to stop them now.
* A more competitive high school environment will encourage kids to do amazing things. Sure, some will get caught up in the grades game, but an ideal education system wouldn't have kids idolizing grades as is done today, and students will be allowed to focus on the things that matter to them (be it arts, entrepreneurship, or a million other mentally stimulating activities whose end results mean more than grades).
