You expect a 6 year old to have the insight and emotional maturity to work around with a terrible teacher? Why would they even need a teacher if they could overcome that kind of adversity by themselves?

People with jobs are free to seek out new jobs. Yoking a student to a bad teacher for 2+ years is the opposite of a real-life situation.

Sadly many people especially those that work in factories can't really seek out new jobs, as that could mean not being able to put the food on the table and pay for school stuff that the kids might need.
Learning to be able to tolerate and deal with people that you don't like or don't get along is an incredibly valuable thing.

I agree, but a single year is long enough to learn that lesson. Looping magnifies the positive/negative outcomes of being assigned a good, bad, or indifferent teacher (or one you just don't get along with).

Children aren’t full humans yet, that’s the whole point of doing stuff differently for them…

That's why it's better to use such a situation for learning.
They're both humans. Humans can talk and reason, why not use that to try and solve the issues?
Edit: Feel free to down vote, but I'm of the opinion that adversity builds character and even more, it makes you into a person that people can rely on in tough situations. I know that parents these days want to make the lives of theirs kids so smooth that they'll never see a 90° degree angle in their life, but that's just not how the world work. At least the majority, I don't know how it's in US and huge cities. I'm from a village where everyone knows everyone.
