However, you cannot, on the one hand, believe schools are guilty of grooming and indoctrination (which they are), yet on the other hand, excuse them from massive educational underperformance.
I’m not sure what point you’re making here.
I agree that schools are both “guilty of grooming AND indoctrination” (2 different things) AND they are massively underperforming.
But these things are only tangentially related.
First of all, grooming is only one type of indoctrination that is taking place.
Secondly, the underperformance of STUDENTS has many causes, mostly more important than the effects of bad schooling. It’s much deeper than that, and can be summed up by the lack of societal standards and expectations of personal responsibility.
This culture of victimhood is antithetical to personal responsibility and to gratitude.

The former begets the latter, pretty much by necessity, I would assert.

Schools are granted time and influence with our kids.
In exchange, we expect our public education system should at least approach our children's educational potential. But public schools are not meeting those expectations. Nowhere is that more evident than in the 3% OP statistic.
One might argue, as some here do, that time and influence of schools is overrated compared with that of the extracurricular/home environment. But that argument falls flat if the same folks lament schools have the time and influence to indoctrinate kids. Obviously, if they have wherewithal to indoctrinate, they have capacity to educate. Yet they are are failing to educate. That is the point being made.
