Another detriment of the system placed upon education that I don't think has been mentioned is that colleges also get affected when a student does not show his or her full potential due to the fault of system, they don't get to learn everything about the student.

Forgive me, but I totally forgot this book even exists! (I have seen the book before) I'll consider buying the book to read it.
Also, another thing you reminded me of is
this video shown in the 2011 Kickoff featuring Woodie Flowers. One thing he said was very similar to the quote you provided, though very general but nevertheless still inspiring!
