College Dropouts: Student or University fault?

When I was teaching HS, if you brought up "what will happen to them in college" as the dumbing down started and continued to make parents happy because Jr. was getting bad grades and the parents were too chicken-shit to put their foot down or make the right call when it came to their home work, classes or meds, you just got a blank stare from anyone you were talking to.
S-why I prefer teaching college.
Finally, we have to be able to tell some kids, you are not cut-out for this.
