I think a big part of this is the trend towards teaching kids more and more advanced subjects and earlier and earlier age. ie when I went through school algebra 1 was taught in 8th grade, and now I belive it's 7th grade, when this was a high school subject traditionally.

Instead of mastering subjects before moving on we're pushing kids into more and more indepth subjects that developmentally they aren't ready for yet.
