I distinguish between education and proto-educationI use "education" to imply that you KNOW and KNOW YOU KNOW. I use "proto-education" to imply that you KNOW but may not KNOW YOU KNOW. For example, the educational fad called "Back to Basics" in teaching arithmetic usually involves only proto-education. Given an abstract calculation the B2B student may calculate correctly. But given a problem requiring calculation, the B2B student may not know how to start. This has been attested in Internationally supervised tests in which American students are about the lowest of advanced technological nations.
To students in "Education" courses, I've compared this type of performance to the little bird in the "Flintstone" cartoons. If you put its beak down on the stone "phonograph" record, it may "play" it. But it cannot start by itself. The typical B2B student does not know know to start an important problem in applied arithmetic. You must put the student's "beak" down and get the student started. If we could send enough "beak-placers" out with these students into the "Work-a-Day World", then they might get some work accomplished. Instead, business corporations are spending billions re-educating our high school and college grads, even those B2B grads who can calculate once started.
