I interpret your point as "in a perfect system, school will be a playground, with no connection to a career, and everyone will have equal wealth."

I do agree that schools are culpable when a child (and parents) fails. I do not agree that we should take away the student's agency.

Did school teach you to over-interpret? I don't mention playgrounds, nor the "agency" of 6yos. Do you trust your 6yo's agency next to a busy highway? No? Then why is she responsible for dealing with her teacher's poor attitude and teaching habits?
