Social engineering.... the 10% rule forces the even distribution of bright students evenly over the entire public system instead of the concentration of the best and the worst in seperate schools.

Wow, you are correct. I never thought of it that way.

The 10% rule is a clever idea to even things up. Let the individual's own selfish motives work to acheive the greater good...sorta like the concept of capitalism. I wonder if it works as well as capitalism does.
