for the intellectual top 1% of kids it definitely can.

Really? Do I have to add caveats to everything I say? It's already long enough. But this is also about wayyyy more than the top 1% of kids, this is about everyone. You want a more capable society? That means everyone.

I think it's a good thing for smart kids to hang out with smart kids.

Again, advanced classes. This is so simple.

Believe it or not, different degrees of intelligence require different needs

Again, advanced classes.

private schools are great in making sure that potential is met

Again, advanced classes.

And again, this means more students potential is reached. And that more students have the opportunity to become smart and educated from the very beginning. I notice you don't respond to any of that, you're back to acting like smart people just spring out of the blue to be whisked away to private schools. Think about how many people never intellectually developed in the first place because they never had good education to begin with. You want more smart people in society? The solution is public schools to develop those smart people.

government bureaucracy, which is notoriously inefficient and frankly always will be, especially at scale.

And now you define public schools as inefficient and all those connotations. Just like how you defined things before.

Seriously, it seems you can not even conceive of good public schools that yes serve and educate top students well (but again these students don't just pop up out if the blue, they are educated from the very start).
