So the teachers who give it their all are purposefully stunting children to suppress them? All the kids who go on to college and become doctors and educators, suppressed?
So much of your local schools are controlled by your local governments who are made up of the citizens in that area who have a vested interest in ensuring their kids receive good educations.
What is your evidence for any of this?

Its not teachers themselves per se.
Its curriculum, funding and structure. Teachers are underpaid, schools are underfunded and undersupplied. Moreover, you have a two tier education system. Well funded private schools for the wealthy and sub par public schools (generally) for everyone else.
Charging tuition in Finland and other healthy Democracies is illegal so rich people have a vested interest in ensuring schools are all up to par.
Further, critical thinking and deductive reasoning are barely taught if at all in public schools. Skills that would help people question what their told and how to smell and call bullshit and how to see the big picture rather than swallowing what they’re told by perceived authority figures.
US public schools exist to give people just enough education to be effective workers but not enough to understand context or question things and to see through to the root causes of problems rather than blindly accepting political scapegoats and finger pointing that often serves political ends but are far from the real culprits of their woes. Its about control.
So yeah, the US public education system is broken and it’ll stay that way as long as those in power intend on keeping their wealth and power by controlling the masses and ensuring they don’t have the mental tools to truly understand.
