4. Educators being encouraged to teach to the test, rather than teach critical engagement with texts in their entirety.

Emphasis mine. IMO this has got to be a huge part of the equation, at least from my anecdotal experience. It was always nice when the instructor would get extra passionate and go "off script" to impress upon us some concept that they felt was especially important - even though we weren't being framed on it.
