You can't just blame schools though.
Education is self-driving. Both my wife and I have graduate degrees and were the kid to not at least get a college degree, we'd see that as 'backsliding' a bit.
As more and more people get degrees, they'll expect their children to do so as well.
It's a natural progression but at the same time, it has definitely led to some unrealistic expectations. No - not everyone is 'college material' or would benefit from 4 years removed from the workforce at the cost of a six figure debt.
