School does exactly what it's supposed to do- force people into a mold best suited for the corporate world.
I don't think that school does a good job at the task of preparing people for the corporate world.
Analysing poems is for example a skill that only very few people will need in their working life.

we need teaching methods that produce measurable results
That depends on how you unterstand that goal. The quest for measurable results lead in the US to an increase in overall testing through ideas like no-child-left-behind.

The call for measurable results leads to focus on those thing that can be easily measured.
