Not high school. 5th grade.
My son is a 9th grade teacher and today he gave his students 3 options for their grades for the semester.
The first option he called capitalism. Each kid gets whatever grade they earn based on effort and merit. They are all taught and tested in the same manner.
The second option was socialism. They are all taught and tested in the same manner. All the grades are gathered at the end and then he takes points away from the achieving students and gives them to the ones who are struggling to lift them up, bringing the achieving students grade down.
The third option was communism. He figures out what each kid is capable of and makes them work according to the ability level he determines. Some get easy classes and tests, others get very difficult ones, and at the end he hands out the exact same grade to everybody no matter how they performed.
Guess which one the kids chose?
The more nonsensical and obviously absurd a belief is, the more people who hold it (or pretend to) will resist recanting. The potential for humiliation rises in direct proportion to the ridiculousness of what they've publicly swallowed. They see no choice but to double down.
