People are not actually learning. They are simply "along for the ride" while memorizing for tests so they can land a job and forget most of the things they've learned. Perhaps we should improve our secondary education as we are lacking on that front in America instead of encouraging everyone to take 4 more years out of their working lives.

I've witnessed this, myself. It shows itself as a lot of questions about what's going to be on a test instead of trying to understand the material.
