Do you have proof that todays 8th grader couldn’t as you presume? Or are you using that already debinked multiple times 8th grader exam from Salina as your evidence?

I am a former teacher and can tell you that students of today are not taught things like basic geography, for example. Social studies books are filled with politically correct "facts." There are more examples but I won't bore you with them.

I believe that students of today are not as well educated as students of 1900, and I will stick to that conclusion.

Not so debunked. Look at the McGuffey Readers and see the reading level of mid-19th century 8th graders. I've owned a facsimile set. I know that most of today's 8th graders would have an extremely difficult time reading any of the selections.
