I'd pin most of our issues re:education on fortune 500 companies' influence on setting education policy. Business had been the driving force behind our shift toward standards based education (read increased reliance on high stakes standardized testing) over the past two decades despite innumerable complaints from the educators who actually teach kids.

And while there are a multitude of factors behind our nation's decline I'd put the majority of it at the feet of an educational model that discourages innovative and creative thinking in favor of drilling and rote memorization.
