return to [or institute anew] the rigorous streaming by ability - there need to be several separate and by design unequal educational streams - say, 5: retardees, dullards, normals, brights and the gifted.

Indeed, it has become a brave new world. This is a bad idea. Doing well in school has only very little to do with success in life.

[In different countries] I have seen it from both sides: a rather strictly meritocratic streaming system and a PC egalitarian one. From my experience, meritocratic streaming is an extremely good and necessary idea.
