I heard a clear explanation of what the problem with education is these days—is it true?

I heard this fascinating explanation of why education is failing kids and from everything I've learned and seen about this topic it feels spot on, but I'd like to get others' viewpoints on it. It basically went, "10-20 years ago, it was the parent/student's job to keep up with the one teacher's curriculum, now it's the teacher's job to keep up with each and every student's own speed/style of learning." So the responsibility has shifted from the student/parent entirely onto the teacher, but since one single teacher obviously can't keep up with 30-40 individual kid's learning, they've all been left behind. What do you think about this explanation?
