It has always been my belief that public schools teach about society at least as much as academics. If you group all of the very smart / gifted people together in the best schools they lose intangable education. By putting them in a homogenized group, they lose-out on the opprotunities to learn the differences of society which are apparent in public schools.
While the tangable education may be improved by elite schools, the intangable skills that are learned by a diverse public school are lost.
