When my Dad was in the Army Air Corp in World War 2 they didn’t need to have a high school degree.If one dropped out of school after 5th grade, in 1941, on average, one had a better education than one with a high school diploma now.

If one dropped out of school after 5th grade, in 1941, on average, one had a better education than one with a high school diploma now. That's true. If you look at elementary school books and curricula even at the turn of the century, they are way over the head of today's high schooler-- and even most of today's adults. People used to be taught the classics, religion, and critical thinking skills. Not so today.

I once had a 1937 textbook designed for high school. It covered geometry, algebra, trigonometry, physics, five languages, biology, botany, logic, Greek, American and Roman history, English grammar, chemistry, and more.
With this medium-sized (pre-war) book, you could teach yourself to have the equivalent of a Bachelors degree today!
