I personally don't think that it is a big deal. Giving kids until 3rd grade to actually "settle" and demonstrate ability is a good idea. Equal opportunity until we can decide as a society who is eligible for "more practice".
Though, in reality, the rich and able will give their children more practice regardless, so they will reap more of the Gifted and Talented slots when the time comes anyways.
