I think that is a fairly valid statement. The issue is probably systemic more then anything. Now, even with a system that produces generalist there is a vast array in competency and even ability to follow and execute on curriculum (teachers learn to teach differently then they use to...fundamentally, its different and there is no "re-certification process"). That can probably be controlled some how.
