Which is what they would have achieved anyway without holding the smart kids back.

Horses for courses. Let the bright kids push on and run the country/business, be inventors .........

So what you're saying is you want to determine whether someone gets to become a toilet cleaner or an 'inventor' based on an arbitrary test at age 11.

Did I say secondary schools should limit teaching to toilet cleaning??

Potential can be seen early. There's no reason why kids cant move either way post 11 years old.

I'm not sure what they teach but i'm sure we will see some great leaders come out the other end in the fullness of time.

Selection by ability a moot point within Labour currently.
