My kids work hard, and they know more than I knew when I was in high school (and I knew more than most.) They are better adjusted socially, and they are academically better prepared. What is different is that there is now a much wider range of kids. In my high school of 2000 students there were two physics classes. In our school of 1500 we have ten physics classes. To look at those 200+ kids and say they are stupid and lazy because they don't all perform like the 35 best kids in school 30 years ago is short sighted and dishonest. Yearning for the way it used to be means wanting a great portion of the population to be illiterate, and only for the few elite to be in our physics classes. Don't sell our kids short. Richard L.
