Does our educational system favor individualism? My entire educational career was spent battling against enforced collaboration and group work, aka, get the smart kid to teach the rest of the dubs and do their work for them.

Fostering love of solo work and resentment of collaboration might be a side-effect of such practices, but somehow I don't think that's the intention.
