I believe high schools should use a multi-tier system to stream teenagers into appropriate programs based on intelligence, regardless of the stigma this may cause. CMV

Myself and a few of my friends have recently been discussing the merits of our current educational system in Canada (and possibly North America, I dont know how the US public school system works) and I am an avid supporter of a tiered system, similar to the on used in the UK and other European countries. Schools are abandoning their most promising students by forcing them to spend four years in classes far below the level they should be on with students who are not peers. Our nations brightest are left to coast because of the prevailing mentality that everyone is "good" and failure isnt possible. How much potential is lost..? Can you change my view?

Edit: To clarify, I should have used the word capability  or style of learning rather than intelligence in the title, as many of you have pointed out that intelligence is very difficult to measure and not strongly indicative of future performance.

Success is more often based on hard work, not some innate natural talent.  Those so called 'brightest' students who coast along not working hard are not worth more investment than a person with less natural talent but works their ass off.
