Snowflake teachers.

just re read this thread and your posts within it. Its pretty clear you have no respect or empathy for teachers.
When i was at school we had streams based on ability, If a pupil does well they are moved up and if a pupil does bad they are moved down.
Any pupil that want to and is willing to learn will do better than the ones that dont. You even said you teach your son yourself so how is he still not doing well and advancing?

Perhaps you should start giving your 15 year old his own money to teach him to become more independent rather than him just asking for what he wants.
You are probably giving him the impression that he can just cruise along as he wants for nothing, rather than achieving things for himself and setting his own goals in life.
Once he realises that its ultimately up to him to succeed rather than others to help him to you will all benefit.

Thread now going off topic, it's not about my personal circumstances, it's about my original title "Snowflake teachers"
which I still maintain a lot of them are.

You can maintain whatever you like. I maintain you're wrong. The teachers who taught my children were all fantastic, they inspired my Daughter enough for her to want to be a Teacher. There are "snowflakes" in every profession, maybe you should think about moving your child to a school you are happy with ? You patently dislike the one they're at now ! And I really don't believe your statement about teachers saying they teach to the less able pupils, preventing the more able pupils progressing.

You ever tried it? No, didn't think so.

Attitudes like that are (part of) why there is a crisis in education with droves of good teachers leaving.

I would challenge any of the detractors to spend a week, even in a primary school, and tell me they have an easy job.

Which other careers have you done to be able to make the comparison?

If I lived somewhere rural and in a job where people depended on me I’d probably drive something like a Panda 4x4, and keep some snow chains, a shovel and some salt in the boot.

That sounds great. However, problems arise when roads are blocked by other cars. It's generally ok if one can keep going. Be forced to stop, for whatever reason, and there's often a problem.

My county expected teachers to turn in to the nearest school.

When you make a general statement like that it's very telling of the type of person you are. With your attitude i'm not surprised your son needs extra help at school if he is exposed to your opinions.
