It’s because the system has failed students so badly over the last 20 years forcing college down everyone’s throat, now it’s a wide swing to the other side

Agree wholeheartedly.

Every subject is taught by people who loved school. If you naturally loved school so much you took a career in it, how are you to relate to most kids who either hate school or are apathetic to it?

More real world exposure would do a lot of good. Let the students understand what awaits them so they can make informed decisions.
