I don't think it's us trying to rationalize it away or divert blame from ourselves, but rather just us applying our own worldview and internal problem-solving heuristics onto an "unexplained" or "emergent" property of a complex system. I personally don't think we need to even try figure out the cause. We just need to not lower the standards for entry into subsequent grades, highschool and college, and the problem will fix itself without us figuring out "why" it's happening at all.
