That's basically how it works now, except it requires parents who can afford to pay for private school.
UC San Diego has released a new report documenting a “steep decline in the academic preparedness” of its freshmen.

That's self segregation. Public schools need to realize that they have a fundamentally impossible job and as a society we need to get some kids out into the workforce because school just ain't for them
Now obviously there are a bunch of slackwit moron gangsta wannabes who are criminal terrors even at 14 or whatever but that's what prison is for. Enough candy ass treatment of the tiny portion of brutes.

I think some kids aren't going to be coming to grips with some of what's in that test no matter how long you hold them back, and nor is it necessarily a problem that they can't / won't. They just shouldn't be studying engineering or similar. The bar for being a productive member of society is much lower than the bar should be for this.
I agree it would be good if schools were as interested in helping the best to excel as they are in trying to force the uninterested to behave / keep up. I imagine this situation is different in private schools -due to the absence of children of underclass parents- and that not having to spend most of the time controlling behaviour probably accounts for most of the difference in outcomes.

What do you expect? Students are idiots, schools/teachers are idiots, you cant even fail a dumbass kid in some districts/countries, college/university admissions seemed dumbed down, and parents care more about watching their fav Netflix series than spending time with their children.
Add it up and you get a bunch of numbnuts.
The second I saw my nieces showed me and my bro how they did math in grade school (this ridiculous "Japanese style" tic tac toe chart method of doing multiplication) I could already tell the school board are morons. Cant blame the kids at that age, they're probably 8 years old. But how and why teachers would show kids stupid ways of doing times table just adds to bad math skills long term because nobody on earth doing math is going to be drawing giant criss crossing charts when they get older. And since they never learned it by grouping multiples of numbers together in their head, then they'll never learn it. Math for them is pull out a smartphone calculator. That's probably why so many are broke and got shitty budgeting skills. They dont understand numbers well.
