"What is driving the failure in education?"
Oh, my! You REALLY, TRULY want to learn the answer to your question?
May I suggest that some 'honest research' would surely get you all the answers you need to this important question. To do needed honest research, check out:
http://mathforum.org/kb/thread.jspa?threadID=2419536 . (The attachments to the post indicate some practical tools that could help you do it, i.e., 'honest research'. I should note that these practical tools are not quite enough: you should also really, truly WANT to do it - this is crucial).
You may also obtain some insights by looking at:
http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=8070310 which also contains some useful ideas about 'honest research'.
