Children who learn easily are better supported
Promotes elitism
better preparation for higher schools than e.g. Hauptschule
A child can't possibly know at the age of 10 what he or she wants to be, but still has to decide already. Or rather, it is decided by the parents.
Children are not dragged down by classmates with learning difficulties
Children from educationally disadvantaged families have fewer opportunities.
Promotes general knowledge
All children have a right to a good education, not just those from better-off homes.

Separating so-called weak learners from the better ones does not bring any obvious advantages. Neither for the good nor for the bad students.

Simply trauma from high school

Children have too little free time because they have to study too much and have too much homework.
Underachieving children have the chance to be promoted.
No equal opportunities
