I agree with your assertions that many students believe that memorization is learning and that students need to develop the ability to analyze and solve problems before they attend college.

Maybe with the emergence of the internet, these students can (by themselves) gain some perspective on what is needed for college and not have to depend on either guidance counselors or on mentors that may not be there.
