I think one of the main problems is that academic acheivment in primary and seconday schools is NOT cool, and is punished by your peers. If you're smart, the first thing you learn is to hide it.
If you're tough enough, you survive until college, where you learn the sororities and frats have the test answers and boilerplate papers.
The unspoken message of our whole culture, from Bush the proud "C" student on down, is that who you know, not what you know, is what counts.
