Yes,

What 'experts' like Smithers never mention is that the students are not succeeding in the system that people like Smithers support. They have created the system where teachers teach students so they can pass tests. And, in that system, lets call it the 'Smithers System', students have not even become successful test takers, and have certainly not all become prepared for anything. Some have prepared themselves, some are served by the system as its constructed, but, for the most part the Smithers System isn't working.

Smithers solution to the non-working Smithers System. More Smithers.

seems odd doesn't it.
