Hi OP, Google search's AI here with an answer to your question.

Every generation often perceives a decline in education because of a natural tendency to compare the current educational landscape to their own experiences as students, which are often viewed through rose-colored glasses, coupled with the fact that societal changes and technological advancements can make it seem like the current generation is not being adequately prepared for the future, leading to a perception of a decline in educational standards; this is often amplified by a generational gap in understanding and perspective.

[u]Key points explaining this phenomenon[/u]
[b]Nostalgia Bias:[/b] People tend to remember the positive aspects of their childhood experiences more vividly, leading to an idealized view of their education compared to what they see in the current system. 
[b]Rapid Change:[/b] As technology and societal norms evolve quickly, older generations may struggle to keep up with the changing educational needs and perceive the current system as lacking in certain areas. 
[b]Focus on perceived issues:[/b] Each generation tends to focus on the issues they see most prominent in the current educational system, like technology dependence, standardized testing, or curriculum changes, without considering potential improvements. 
[b]Misinformation and Media Influence:[/b] Media often sensationalizes stories about educational decline, further reinforcing the perception of a downward trend. 
[b]Different priorities:[/b] Each generation may have different priorities regarding education, with older generations potentially valuing traditional academic skills more than current generations who might prioritize critical thinking and adaptability.[/quote]
