Simple arithmetic, no solid educational philosophy. Or when they were forced to associate ONLY with people who were born the same year they were. It's easy to take pot-shots at the education system and attempts at reform. And, yes, there are a lot of buzzwords and a lot of things that don't work.

Constructive criticism is an important part of the improvement process.
