In America, schools are segregated by wealth. Wealthier people buy houses in more prominent neighborhoods, while poorer people are redlined. Subsequently, their children are segregated, as public school attendance is based on your residence.
While there is more freedom, children are also given every chance to “fail” to become part of the labour reserve. And this chance becomes much greater with the poorer school districts and poorer families.
And by “fail”, I don’t mean they lack the capability of performance, but rather there is a “professional standard” that they fail to adhere to this standard to be selected to progress in their education.
