Proof please. While the "quality" might have been better 100 years ago, please don't tell me that kids were regularly taking calculus in highschool back then. I don't believe it. The standards are much higher today. Too high IMO. I think there ought to be more vocational opportunities in school.
The tards had special schools and didn't sit in the same room with the "regular" kids. THAT is the difference. Public schools have to deal with the dumbasses at the same time they are trying to educate the other kids. You can thank the parents of special education/emotionally fucked up kids for that.
No child left behind and all that but I still think standards are higher than just mastering the three R's back in the olden days. That's the challenge for the schools. They have to raise the scores for the special education/emotionally fucked up kids (and ESL learners) but the standards for the rest of the kids keep getting raised to. With no money! It's fucked up.
If my kids want to attend a UC school in California....I can't even begin to list the g.p.a. requirements and extra cirricular activities. :face palm: It's ridiculous.
