[quote=Anonymous]I am not seeing it with my DD. She is going to the same HS I did, but seems to be getting a much better education. In 1980, in order to take Computer Science, I could not continue with language, for example. There were six periods vs. 7 today, so she gets more electives. I was only able to take advanced courses in math, DD is in all honors, and one year ahead of where I was in math (even though I am better at math than she is). Her grades are better too. The culture in the school is much more supportive of high-achieving students: nerds are looked up to rather than degraded. The only thing is it was easier to get into a good college in the 80's than today.[/quote]
