Having never been to an American school, I can't tell you with certainty, but it certainly seems like they need to start teaching Political Science.
What you are talking about isn't "Communist". It wouldn't even be deemed Socialist in modern society. It's an oligarchic system designed to extract the most out of meager funding, while providing a basic education to the majority of students - students who otherwise would most probably remain illiterate and innumerate.
This is why Private schools are generally better - they do not have the same budgetary restrictions as public schools.
True Communism is an ideal that even Lenin and Marx realised was unobtainable in anything other than a basic agrarian society. The last leader to seriously try and implement a "communist" society was Mao, and even he failed (to the extent that rather than tell the "Great Chairman" he was a loon, the Communist Party undertook to systematically pull the wool over his eyes - examples too long to post here).
Even the great "boogyman" of the USSR during the Cold War was in fact a Marxist-Socialist regime, and they even named their union accordingly - the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics.
Are American schools communist?
