It’s a rare parent that wants their children questioning what they’re told. It’s one of the reasons the Greeks killed Socrates.
That’s the fundamental aspect of human nature that needs to somehow be changed. It’s not that hard to develop critical thinking skills — but parents don’t want it, corporations don’t want it, politicians don’t want it. Where is the constituency that is going to push for and pay for critical thinking skills in childhood education?

(Working from your assumptions here - I'm not necessarily sure how widespread the disregard for a questioning attitude is.)
