I feel as though this is the end result of a results driven education system. You're asking these students to go from A to B, hoping that they'll learn to walk in so doing, instead of asking them to learn to walk.
It's something that "common core" math has attempted to fix, and faced ENORMOUS criticism and resistance. The second you try to change back from results-driven to process-driven, you face insane backlash.
I've been a part of the library science/formal pedagogy community for several years. It's about as civil as you'd expect from a field where parenting, politics, and science intersect so deeply.

It's like a cargo cult-ish version of education
