Only about 10-20% of my students showed any evidence of engagement or understanding with the material.
The other 60% were just parroting everything, but that’s good enough to get B/C and pass the class and that’s all they care about.
And about 20% were total idiots who didn’t belong in a college classroom, but the school won’t fail them even when they cheat because money. 10% of my students cheated and I reported them and only about 3% of those that cheat get punished for it, the others get passed with a low grade.

These ratios hold pretty true with regards to competency in the workplace, too.
