This is the problem with teaching - the incentives are never perfectly aligned. Students are the real customers - but they don't know what's best for them so they can't do a fair evaluation. Education is such a long-term investment, that it's effectiveness can only be measured after years. Which means short-term gimmicks will continue to be rewarded by the market.
