Critical component of education is critical thinking and that can't be taught. One has to realize the importance of it and work on his/her own to master the skill. Good institutions do provide a stimulating environment to test your creativity and critical thinking thus enabling your mind. In the USA, most kids have only two things in mind when they are going through the education - money and sex. Guess what with these objectives of learning from student's perspective they are doomed before they even start. Sorry state of affairs.

Yes, because they think money and sex is success, as society shows it on tv and internet.
I disagree with your thought on critical thinking. It can be taught. But it has no interest in today's society, so that's why a lot of people don't care. They prefer to not think by themselves because it's way easier to just have a task to do and to be productive.
