Well, I think Panzer has a point saying it is "society's fault", even though it may not be 100% accurate - but I can't think of a better way to express it either.
If not 'society's fault', then whose fault is it exactly ? (I'm not arguing, it's an honest question)
And what I think would be interesting to try and figure out is, why is this happening ? What is the real reason why the various people in authority and related to this are going down this path ? Mind you, I'm not talking some conspiracy theory here - not in the least; I'd like to know some real explanation or justification of the reasons why this is happening. Why now ? What has changed, or what has been discovered, that makes _this_ the better way ? Why (if at all) did they (who's they, anyway ?) come to the conclusion that the "older" ways (i.e., 10 and 20 years ago, and before that), are no longer good enough, or are wrong altogether ?

I'd sure like to know the answers to some of these, because I'd sure like to know how my kid is treated in school, and what kind of mentality is going to be promoted in the place where he/she is supposed to get an education...
