That kind of idea... That seems too naive. I really don't see the point in getting that kind of education. Competition makes people work harder. What would be the point of overachieving when you're just going to the same school an underachiever is going to? I wouldn't want to work as hard because I'd find it unfair. I wouldn't get anything special for working hard, so what's the point?

I think you're trying to make everyone seem equal and it doesn't work that way. Someone will always be more valuable to let's say, a company or something, because that person has had a better education, more special skills, etc. That's how competition works. The most qualified person gets the job. And you sound kind of like a socialist.
