What's funny is that the differences in pedagogy is probably a result of that "ideological corruption". Going through the American education system, it's clear to both professors and students alike that the system was designed on the assumption that there should be winners and losers, and that meaningful education is an afterthought. My math professors complained that the way the system worked made it impossible for a student to have continuity in their learning experience, and if you measure the number of A-students in one course who get an A in immedate next course, it's random. They weren't talking about courses that have large conceptual leaps between them. They were talking about first semester calculus vs second semester calculus.
