When did education became so shitty? Where are the times when university students could speak 5 languages and knew whole books from memory?

Quantity is important for modern industrial society. Not everyone can be a genius, but the average person can be educated enough to fill out the many menial but still important positions in science, healthcare and tech that don't necessarily require you to be a luminary but do require you to have an idea of what the fuck you're doing.

This. In addition to that nobody stops you to be the student, who speaks 5 languages and memorizes whole books

People just like whining. The ones that whine the most are the ones who understand the least.
With Facebook, they've just got an easy outlet for whining where they wont be told to shut up. Plus it's easier than ever to whine, just upload a jpeg-artifacted picture of someone who's fallen over and attach a brainless caption like "me when i got exams xD"
It's trivial nonsense, don't stress yourself about it, you wont fix society by getting angsty and whining (ha!) here on 4chan.
