While I agree that the system is setup for failure to some degree, a large part of the problem with education over the past few decades is simple apathy towards doing anything useful. The teachers don't much care, the students don't much care. When was the last time you saw a high school junior say, "Hey Mr. so-and-so, what else can we learn about?" Sure it happens, but it's definitely not the norm.
Voting, public service, education... most of what's falling apart around us is driven by apathy. Instead of targeting schools as a conspiracy, I'd go for the water. Of course, I'm MOSTLY joking... but why the fuck are kids so lazy these days? There has to be some underlying cause.
