it's decent, but it has a good number of flaws
classrooms can end up going at the pace of the slowest student if that student is a teacher's favorite in a small class, and there are no remedial options
students can get completely steamrolled by an excessive amount of homework, ex. student doesn't want to do homework, gets bad grade, loses motivation to do more homework, gets more assigned anyways
a lot of teachers teach strictly curriculum material, going over everything we need for tests but ignoring the extra intricacies and details that make a subject beautiful, leaving people disillusioned with something if they already didn't have a high interest in it
classes are getting larger and larger as the population grows while the budget is getting tighter and tighter
excellent teachers are often overshadowed by depictions of boring monotonous people who lost their passion for teaching years ago
the curriculums are making it more and more apparent that the current view of schools is to train people how to take memorization tests over a wide variety of different subjects that are artificially separated from each other despite being different facets of the same thing, and keeping people stressed and telling them every thing they did wrong on those memorization tests, even going as far as to limit their abilities outside of school based on how well they do on these tests despite the fact that the tests don't accurately reflect adult life
I've been lucky enough to have pretty good teachers for the most part recently, but there are still people I know that are disillusioned with school despite having potential to become something great and maybe they will anyways I don't know the future, and there are many more people in the world who are getting through a subject in school just to get through it with a teacher that does nothing to make the subject as interesting as possible to try and make the experience less pain curl for everyone involved
sorry for the wall of text that happened, I've tried to make it a bit easier on the eyes
