I don't really feel that everybody needs to end up at the same education level, especially since there are many different jobs that require a wide variety of education levels and abilities to do.
But who gets to decide who gets what education level? Kids are nowhere near capable of making a good decision about which track they should be in, and it's so easy to make the mistake of basing tracking off of prior knowledge rather than actual ability (which is much harder to ascertain).
