You just described my entire public school experience as a creative writing class.

Public school is a sham of free babysitting under the guise of "education," change my mind.

That would be preferable. Public school actively teaches lies as part of political agitation. It makes people retarded intentionally so they can't understand simple concepts like inflation and taxation.

And, even if you don't believe in that (as many normies seem adverse to the very notion) it still massively stifles the education and growth of our nation's children to push them to equal with the most retarded kid in class.

We are rewarded sub-mediocrity and actively damaging those who could be something of value by trapping them in a worthless box for their most valuable years.

Ontario high schools used to have what was called "streaming". Not in the modern sense, as this was abolished by about 1988 or so, but in the sense that a kid going into grade 9 (my school system didn't have "junior high", you went K-8 and then 9-13 at the time) could choose the difficulty level of most courses - basic, "normal" (it was called something else, but the name escapes me at the moment) and advanced. Grade 13 was optional, mostly for kids going on to university, and is now called "OAC"; I think the difference is just in that now you have to pay for your books instead of renting them. I was done with high school a year or two before they changed things (for the worse, if you ask me. Especially when they made phys ed mandatory, glad I dodged that fucking bullet. The female gym teacher was a bull dyke.)

Anyway, it was up to you what level of course you took, but if you were struggling, or seemed to be cruising through too easily, yeah, they could pull you aside and suggest you take a different difficulty (with no penalty), but they couldn't make you.

This was abolished because the dumbasses thought it was "stigmatizing" the Basic level kids. But I did see an article come and go that suggested they may be thinking of bringing this idea back, for the very reasons advocates didn't want to get rid of it - it just kills the interest of the quicker kids to be bogged down by the slower ones, and the slower ones get frustrated with the higher-level info the quicker kids want to know. Plus the fact that the kids who are going to trades college, or who are just going to drop out in grade 10, probably don't care about the higher details of geography and history and will never use it ...

I learned most things on my own faster than the teachers taught, with a few exceptions.
