Math is a useful way to sort people by IQ. Of course you have to be willing to use that information and not allow schools to pass people who shouldn't be passed. A high school diploma might be worth something again if it required the ability to pass Algebra 2. The real problem is that we're unwilling to fail retards and completely unprepared to offer them employment that doesn't require top 30% IQ.
When Britain really ruled the waves –
(In good Queen Bess’s time)
The House of Peers made no pretence
To intellectual eminence,
Or scholarship sublime;
...
When Wellington thrashed Bonaparte,
As every child can tell,
The House of Peers, throughout the war,
Did nothing in particular,
And did it very well:
