My thought on the subject is that the best one size fits all solution is to give up on the one size fits all concept as it pertains to education. There probably should be some minimum standards that have a very low bar. Knowledge and concepts that easily 99.9% of kids can get if they put in any effort should be that bar. Beyond that support and encourage every kid regardless of their intelligence to explore knowledge of their choice to the greatest extent possible. Obviously, within financial and widely excepted moral constraints. Obviously my vision will never fully be implemented owing to the large number of people who expect kids to be forced to learn more. But, I have to ask why? I have to ask should science be taught, or would it be better to allow kids to use the scientific method? Should advanced mathematics be taught, or should we provide the opportunity and support for kids to explore mathematics. I do not have the solid answers as to what is best for the kids or for society as a whole, but I feel it would be nice to explore the approach of attraction instead of promotion within education.
This should be viewed more as a concept idea that a true belief of what we as a society really should do. The real world is more complicated than a simple vision. This said it is an idea to spur thought.
