It also generally completely ignores that the pressures parents face these days have pretty radically changed, as has the expectations being lumped both on them and children/young adults, for what's that worth. Most societies fail the parents pretty hard in a lot of ways, too... and we're a lot less willing to accept or ignore the consequences of that nowadays. Even if we're still pretty damn willing to ignore anything that might mitigate that.
At the end of the day there's no singular major failure point to identify with education, imo, save maybe that ground level teachers generally don't have the support (fiscal or otherwise) they need, as the primary reason results seem so sketchy at times. There's just piles and piles of different sorts of garbage being input for all sorts of reasons giving us varyingly garbage output.
... on top of being increasingly aware of how garbage that output is, of course. And less willing to accept things like, "Well, maybe the kid starves or dies or something" as a results of child rearing. It's like we're in an in-between point between thinking beating a child into a facsimile of compliance is okay, recognizing how fucking shit that is in terms of both ethics and efficacy, and figuring out what the better game plan is. Or something. Extra complications coming from all the people that are really invested in not acknowledging how fucking shit yesteryear was on most fronts, ha.
