I do find myself agreeing with Twilight, Maxim and Professor Donoghue, Her8et. To exclude certain students due to something you consider "ignorance" would only worsen the pro8lem. As for testing, I'm sure everyone has already pointed out the flaws in testing via magical means, with muggle8orns 8eing extremely excluded. And often pure8loods are only given the 8are minimum of literacy and numeracy skills, as other muggle su8jects are considered unimportant in a wizard's eyes. In such, the wizards themselves are my ignorant, as there is a lot of interesting information to 8e learned, such as muggle history or science. And then there are others who simply do no test well. Or are intelligent in ways that intelligence tests do not cover. We all have a different way of thinking after all. And we all learn in different styles.
Trade schools do not seem like that would 8e practical. 8oth the readings and essays are needed, in the amounts we are given as they help strengthen our theoretical knowledge. To merely focus on the practical aspects means that we will have a selection of wizards who have no true understanding of what the potion they are creating will do, or the many different types of spell work.And asking questions in class should 8e seen as a 8enefit, as perhaps there will 8e other students in the class who do not truly grasp concepts 8ut are too frightened of 8eing judged to ask themselves. Thus the other student asking will aid them too.
You shouldn't 8e so judgemental you know. If it annoys you so much perhaps you should offer a helping hand to the students who struggle. Perhaps with assistance from a peer they will strengthen their understanding and require less time from "your" learning.
