I dare hope for a less dystopian outcome:

- teachers will assign less mind-numbing essay homework assignments and focus more on oral interviews.

That heavily favors a particular learning style, which isn't necessarily a desirable outcome.

Generally speaking, education (when done correctly) tries to avoid "...and devil take the hindmost" as a guiding philosophy.

Mass education is like mass transit. It gets the majority of the population somewhere. Not everyone gets to take the ferrari. Someone will always be left out and we shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

...but if we are forced to choose, it's better to spend our effort on the ones who don't own a Ferrari.

That's exactly the point - mass education. Busses. Not ferraris - even for people who might need that level of support. It isn't economical or a net benefit for society to make sure everyone's needs are met to the best possible point.
