Jesus Christ I thought America was the worst at everything among first world countries but I just found out about school fees in Australia and I'm so mad.

Ah, you freed yourself from the ridiculous brit definition!
I forgot to add another thing, which I'm curious if this happens overseas like in the UK. If a public school is performing well, they usually turn into "selective schools" where they require an application process to be allowed to attend since more parents want to send their kids to the school. The application process will usually involve aptitude tests, interviews, and other crap you'd have to do to get a job.
what a convenient method for keeping poor kids out of your school
I have been out of the school system for a very long time so this is second hand, but from what i've heard, the new(ish) system does kinda do this, where the good schools get turned into "academies" which afaik can have entry requirements
They didn't 15 years ago when i was in school, it's something that got brought in about 6 years ago i think
