I'm becoming more conspiratorial as each day passes but must mention a possibility of Eugenics down the road?

In terrorist minded-UK, not too wise. Bad assets are marked to market, it is inappropriate to take any students, much less good students and potentially mark them to terrorism.

How about this instead of singling out the students, let’s single out the teachers....let’s put them in uniforms designating their ability to teach!!!

Wait until they refer to them as Alphas, Betas, and Gammas. Deltas don’t go to school of course, because they are filthy and stupid. And Epsilons...well, let’s not even think about Epsilons.

"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm really awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able …"

This sounds a lot like “Brave New World,” with Alphas, Betas, Gamas and Deltas.

It’s always been the Liberal way to treat human beings as resources of the state.

This has always been the case in the UK through testing. In the 50’s, my husband has tested prior to Grade School. He went to the ‘brighter school’. His brother went to the ‘not-so-bright school’. Been going on for YEARS through the Socialist government.

Just send them to our local school. You can get an “A” and still not stay in the advanced level courses, because the union says the teacher gets paid more and can only have 17 students per advanced class, so the favorites with an “A” get to take certain classes but are no smarter.

I’m becoming more conspiratorial as each day passes but must mention a possibility of Eugenics down the road?

*****************************

I read a very eerie sci-fi short story some years ago where children were tested a given age, 10 or thereabouts. Those who got unacceptable scores were euthanized.

High scores were unacceptable. Dullards were considered to be docile by the bureaucracy, and were fine. Those who were smarter than the system were eliminated.

I can’t remember the name of the story, but it was chilling. Similar in feel to “The Lottery”, but more plausible.

Pinging Fantasywriter, who may recall.

Men have rivaled each other since The Garden and schools have been the traditional setting for manifesting rivalry.

This is profiling at it's worst.

I dunno... in my first grade, many years ago, we had reading groups divided into Green Light, Blue Light, and Red Light according to how fast we were learning. No one thought too much about it at the time.

That's really over thinking this.

Back 60 years ago and way back even farther, this was the norm, here, in the USA. That's when kids were still skipped, flunked, and there were even middle schools where the bright kids did thee year in two.

Mixed classes and "mainstreaming" extremely handicapped children has ruined American education even worse than all of the PC crapola.

Isn’t this just saying that different schools, some of which are more selective, have different school uniforms?

That sure would have been helpful to Anders Behring Breivik last week.

merely increase competition..

Merely? Competition is bad? Competition is what life is all about. Always has been, always will be. I want my kid to grow up to be competent - only the incompetent are afraid of competition.

Anyway, this is nothing new in most of Asia, where uniforms for students up to university level are common (as well as in the workforce so you know what school a kid is going to by the uniform.

My kid's school seems to have stopped the practice, but a couple of years ago the highest scoring students say, in grade 1 would be in room 1/1; next in 1/2, etc. It gave the kids more incentive to study hard and work hard as they did not want to be in /6 or /7. Also gave the parents more incentive to find remedial help the child needed it. Good system, IMO.

The gifted and talented go to Delamere and wear purple ties and purple badges.

I guess it's easier than having them wear signs that say "Bullies, Please Beat Me".
