The ones who are leftover we encourage a real life education. Get them into a career quickly.
I am trying really hard to have a legitmate discussion, but it is impossible with all the straw men you keep throwing up to knock down.
I am being 100% serious when I ask how you determine which first graders are going to be able to succeed and which are going to get relegated to a lifetime of unskilled labor. I personally know some kids from poor family conditions who ended up being very successful, and I have known some kids from good family conditions who turned out to be losers. So I don't know how you are going to judge a child by his family.
To me it sounds like you are saying that all kids from poor family conditions are judged to be losers at the first grade level. Instead I am in favor of giving them all the same chance and then let natural competition determine which are the best instead of deciding before they are even given a chance.
