[quote=Anonymous][quote]if you actually look at some of the textbooks and class materials from back then, you'll see they were pushing harder in many areas than we were prior to Common Core. The typical 8th grader back then had a much stronger foundation in math and English than an 8th grader circa 2005 did.[/quote] News flash: Most people did not go past 8th grade back then. Many did not even make it to 8th grade so you had the strongest students going to school. My grandparents were some of the ones who didn't go that far. We were a much more agricultural country before WW2. WW2 changed everything in terms of industrialization and going to school longer. But even through the 1970's there were much higher drop out rates that were deemed acceptable. [/quote]
