I feel like there is way too much heterogeneity in education. One bad Apple teacher/professor will ruin significant portions of a generation. At th college level, I’ve seen people lose scholarships because some professor had an axe to grind - just for the sake of being mean.
Then things like the SATs and GRE compound the problem. Little human knowledge accurately boils down to true/false, multiple choice, or robot graded literature. I also used to hear tales of foreign students memorizing whole books of solutions and essay examples. I competed with them while still doing homework and taking tests - no rime for memorizing at any required scale.
