You miss the point, and you profess no aptitude for trying to get it. So we’ll just leave it at that.
I may well be an asshole, and you are as well, except I don’t doom kids to ignorance. That probably makes me less of an asshole than you.
What’s next? Just give everyone an “A” because thinking is hard?
Translation: you have no combative response, so you are just blowing it off.

Being uninterested in advanced math doesn't make someone ignorant. And knowing advanced math doesn't exclude someone from ignorance -- you are an object example.

As I wrote before: give the kids the opportunity to pursue advanced subjects, but don't subject them to it just to see if they fail or succeed. Your method is like throwing kids in the pool: if they drown, oh well....
In my state, students have to pass a test to advance to the next grade, starting in 5th (they take the test in 4th, but it's just a baseline to identify who is at risk). If they don't pass, they spend their summer in remedial classes.
Frankly, the teachers don't like it. And, the reception is mixed among everyone else. But, it's the result of so many kids graduating without even basic skills and/or knowledge.
The results are published (by school), and it has become a factor in property values. Single-family homes in certain areas are in very high demand.
But, the truth is that it's really a metric of the quality of students, rather than the school. But, that's another discussion.
