Education on Education

I just finished semester #2 of my MBA program.. In fact just a week ago I handed in final papers and took final exams.  3 days later I had final grades never having actually seen the grades on those final papers and tests.

Doesn't anyone else see a problem with this system? 

As a student why does our learning stop when we hand in the final paper or final project?  Shouldn't it stop after we get feedback on said paper or test?  After a teacher can assess our strengths and weaknesses and relay them to us so we can actually learn?

For example: Though not necessarily the case in high school or even undergrad, I'm seeing that most of grad school is about these long-term (semester length) projects.  Thing is we spend 3+ months working on these projects (presumably learning in class along the way) and after we turn it in we NEVER get any actual feedback.  Never learn what we did excellent and what we should avoid in our future work. 

I'm not questioning the value of standardized tests (though I'm sure I could) and I'm not questioning the value of the papers/projects/assignments, BUT without that feedback school becomes even more clearly about grades and not education. 

*Honestly I question whether professors even read those final papers when the turnaround for them to submit grades is so short.
