"Students who work hardest would be surrounded by similarly ambitious and intelligent peers; as for teachers, their time could be spent concentrating on exceptional students who want to learn, rather than wasting resources grading the sub-par work of students who didn't care enough to do a good job in the first place."
So wait a minute. How are the teachers supposed to discern who is excelling and who is doing sub-par work? Oh yeah...testing and grades. And didn't those people doing the sub-par work also pay the same tuition fees as everyone else. Yeah, thought so. What!
