So shouldn't the solution be to get kids from lower economic groups into those classes? Rather than stop teaching anyone?

The solution you're proposing takes away any chance of accessing these advanced classes for lower economic groups, and keeps the economic inequality moving.

What happens when the low income kids test out of the remedial class? Oh well, they're just done with school then?

I'm not sure how to read into this. Why did you purposefully qualify this to only upper-class parents?

No, that would be focusing on the advanced poor kids who need less help.

I'm OK with that and no it doesn't keep inequality moving.

Yes, done with school. Read a book, or go to work, or just hang out.

Read whatever you want, you're just concern trolling.

I'm genuinely not. I'm honestly fascinated by your thinking. It appears we have similar goals, yet I cannot wrap my head around your logic. There must be some deep, first/zeroth principles that we disagree on or something.
