End democratic schools who treat people as if they were equal.

Locally schools differentiate. The brightest students are placed in Gifted and Talented (GT) claases, students with challenges are sent to special schools.

My kids were in GT from first grade through graduation from high school, and what is called GT pullout (special enrichment classes) in kindergarten. Only classes they took with non-GT kids from 1st grade were gym and language. I think the non-GT kids resent the GT kids, but since they didn't have much contact, not much problem.

Good math students here can take in high school multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, complex variables and numerical analysis, as well as computer programming.

Maybe explains why so many East Asians and South Asians move here.

We also have special schools for students who are good at visual arts, and performing arts.

Kids can take advanced placement classes or international baccalaurate classes and skip a lot of basic college classes. Older son skipped a full year of college. Younger son skipped one semester.

The schools are "free" to the students but the parents and other property owners pay high property tax.
