Other than the EQAO scores, what other metric is there that the de-streamed system is not working?

I ask because I'd like to create a visualization to show people how useless is the de-streamed system.

Just before grade 9 math was de-streamed, I asked the head of the Math Department to let me teach something else, after I had taught grade 9 Academic Math for several years (in Ontario). I had the lessons and several years of tests all prepared, but I knew it was going to be a disaster. I was proven right. My colleague taught de-streamed grade 9 Math in its first year, and he was panicking. Half of his class (HALF!!!) was failing. He was panicking because he knew he would be blamed for the result. The really smart kids were bored out of their minds.

In this case the solution is so easy and it is staring everyone right in the face. Lets all get along and agree with the black race our schools are too white for them so allow them their own schools with their own black teachers absolutely no whites allowed.

The Indians likewise complain about colonials causing all their problems, do the same give them all the same funding per pupil give them their own schools and Indian teachers, again no whites allowed.

Lets have our own schools for whites and only allow all those others that are left to attend only if they get along but in all fairness no blacks or indian pupils or teachers are allowed.

Everyone happy now?
