When passing the blame why not mention parents?  How about aggressive 
colleges that seek higher and higher proportions of students without 
regard for preparation? I'm not sure that K-12 can take all the blame.
Possibly we are teaching a different population? There are too many 
colleges? (& too many Physics Departments?)

Preparation sure has been affected by many factors.
