I do not know for the country where you live, but after the development the education system in my country has taken during the last decades, I have to say: Yes, it is normal.
Here, it is viewed as a political success when high numbers of academics are produced. Quality does not count, it's quantity which counts. I would not say it is the teachers' fault: The teachers themselves are of course a product of this system.
The tacit aim of almost all political discussions is to reduce the level of our education system in order to raise the number of "successful" students - and to sell this to the public as a progress, scientifically based on results of modern pedagogy and didactics.
The result is what you describe. Still I do not think that we live in the same country. We are right on our way to the state of affairs which have been reached in your country already.
IIN for a college student to be a complete fucking idiot?
