It's because we have experienced education that serves a few functions: it's a daycare for working parents, it's a place for children to socialize with other children, and the educational purpose it serves is that children at the bottom don't get left behind, there's a minimum amount of education everybody gets rather than some kids getting none. This last point means it doesn't particularly serve people around or above the median, which is why, in fact, it feels to many of us that the education we experienced was about learning rote facts. Now maybe that's not the education you received, but it is the one I received. Asking if students have started questioning it is in fact asking if students are using it to question the value of rote facts (as students have rightly been doing since forever anyway.)
