“Just talked with a college student awhile back on this and got a blank stare.”

Talk to college GRADUATES about things that my generation was expected to learn in the first twelve years and you will get a lot of blank stares! Some of those blank stares will come concerning things we had to learn to get INTO high school.
I say this in a serious and very disheartened tone, not to belittle anyone but I really don’t think I have met a college grauate under the age of thirty in my area who would have a chance of passing the final exams from the public high schools of South Carolina for the year that I graduated. I am almost certain they would all flunk English, History and Biology and probably other subjects as well.
