I have to admit I agree with everything you wrote. This was my school time as well.

The one I work at now is much smaller (120 kids max) and has a relatively high educator-to-kid ratio (more than 1 to 10, but not all work full time), but there's something inherently counterproductive in the system itself: the division into classes by age, the idea that older is better, but then mixing all these kids up again. Not all kids are bound to do stupid shit, but most kids are bound to look up to those slightly older ones, and most of those take advantage of that... and that's all before puberty hits. Take that into the mix - ๐Ÿ’ฃ
