My biggest issue with that is I don’t think it helps. Putting people in places they can’t compete doesn’t work.

I’d even claim it a national security threat in that its vital our smartest kids get the best advanced training as it should benefit us all. Letting average or above average kids into places meant for the best of the best doesn’t help.

I think increasing the pool and bursting the "good schools" bubble may improve the overall level of students.

We won't know until we try: individual states provide an awesome sandbox for such experiments.
