Drecker225 is awesome and doesn't afraid of anything.
I cannot wait for the day when I gain control of the world.

It was collective punishment, every time Pyle screwed up (which was often) the rest of the platoon suffered.

I haven't seen FMJ, so I wouldn't know. That's a very different situation though. In the military it is essential to have all soldiers prepared and working together. You can't have someone fall and take the rest of their squad with them.
Schools aren't like that. At all. Students who don't care and fail, will, no matter how much time is put into classes. There are those who are not as smart as the others, sure, but there are lower level classes for them which can help them and go at a slower pace. The smarter students, or the more determined ones, will sign up for the harder and more demanding classes. They get a better education and in the end will probably get farther in life, and that's their call. Those who don't want to work for a better tomorrow shouldn't just have one handed to them like they've earned it. And those who have worked all their lives to get ahead shouldn't be punished for those who enjoyed their childhood more.
TL;DR - It's not fair, and that's a bad analogy.
