Two sentences in this article

Two sentences in this article really stood out to me: "Failure is always ready to acquire someone" and "If social structuring processes in American must be fed by repeated identifications of failure in school and school-like institutions, then American education will continue acquiring people for its positions of failure."

I'm wondering what an American education system that doesn't do this would look like. Specifically, I'm wondering about this idea's implications for curriculum, testing/evaluation, and the role and responsibility of the teacher.
