With all due respect, I have heard that argument all my life and think it is bogus.

Where do you think this happens?

That is just not a problem in most schools today and certainly not college which is what we are talking about.

These days usually kids in primary and secondary schools who are ahead are placed in higher classes, or given special programs, and kids who need help are also given extra help e.g. dyslexia.--as it should be.

In college it is never a problem.

Professors teach and the kids get grades based on how well they learned it.

And if they can't keep up, they are failed.

<public education K through 12 should be free and mandatory, so why stop there?

It's not that everyone doesn't need and deserve as much education as can be given to them, it's just that at some level those who can need an education at the highest level, not restrained by those struggling to keep up.
