Then again, most high schools have lowered their standards, and many colleges have shifted so that instead of just "getting into college," students have to qualify for a bunch of classes. If they don't, they get stuck in remedial classes that cost money but don't count toward a degree or seem to provide concrete improvements. That tends to make people drop out.
I wouldn't really call the education system functional at this point, which is sad. It doesn't help that students have a lot less life experience.
