This reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode;
It's the near future and the parents are very concerned about how their son is going to do on the government mandated intelligence test, which all children take at his age. The boy seems very bright and he tries to calm his parents by saying he'll do fine.
The day comes, and the first step of the test is that he is administered a drug that ensures he will answer every question to the best of his ability.
Cut to the parents at home several hours later - deeply concerned about their sons progress. The phone rings. They get a "vid message" as follows: "We regret to inform you that your son surpassed the maximum allowable intelligence factor. Where would you like the remains sent."

The function of the public school is to identify intelligence, and then either subvert or destroy it.
I really don't know why people consider educrats incompetent.
It looks like they deserve gold stars all around, to me.

Sounds more like Outer Limits.
