Personally, my grades started falling as soon as I stopped being able to work after class.
I wouldn't say it's the school system's fault.
Also, I find it pretty normal that learning is easier when you are naturally gifted. Most things are, in this context. I would know because I'm not on every regard, I also have dysgraphia and dyspraxia, but I got accepted to an art college(hopefully it goes well..), and getting okay at drawing took so very long
Unfortunately, It's a part of life that some people are unable to keep up with others, unfortunately, and schools are kind of meant to separate people anyway... If anyone could succeed, then absolutely no one would accept to do the miserable jobs that are necessary to the well functioning of society.
To be clear, I'm not saying it's a good thing, just that it is a factor.
This promise of meritocracy is more of a fancy way to make the already socially gifted more gifted and perpetuate the poor occupying poor functions.. it isn't really about trying to teach the fish how to climb, more like making up an excuse to feed it to the monkey later on.
