There are elements of truth in both your assertions. But the reason for the
slide in general education is simply neglect. Since they now can get most
types of employees from anywhere they want, they see no need to make sure
that even a system slanted toward the need of owners continues. There is no
longer a benefit worth the trouble.
Thanks for listening,

Here is a true story someone found regarding exams at Cambridge University.
It seems that during an examination one day a bright young student
popped up and asked the proctor to bring him Cakes and Ale. The following
dialog ensued:
Proctor: I beg your pardon?
Student: Sir, I request that you bring me Cakes and Ale.
Proctor: Sorry, no.
Student: Sir, I really must insist. I request and require that you
bring me Cakes and Ale.
At this point, the student produced a copy of the four hundred year old
Laws of Cambridge, written in Latin and still nominally in effect, and
pointed to the section which read (rough translation from the Latin):
"Gentlemen sitting examinations may request and require Cakes and Ale".
Pepsi and hamburgers were judged the modern equivalent, and the student
sat there, writing his examination and happily slurping away.
Three weeks later the student was fined five pounds for not wearing a
sword to the examination.

"It appears the Internet is no place for kids. An Internet directory publisher
has begun a review of World Wide Web pages and has found that half are not
suitable for children. The publisher of the Magellan Internet Directory says
20,000 pages of the 40,000 reviewed so far are intended for mature audiences
only. Magellan publisher The McKinley Group plans to review all 1.5 million
pages in its directory. The company says the review's findings are not
surprising -- considering that sex is the No. 1 topic on the Net."
