I dunno... I think today's education standards suck by all standards. Ours was, I believe, the "test" year - we got to test-sit the SATs and other such pointless standardised tests so that the year below would take them properly, so it's possible we were being slowly geared for that, too... I dunno. But even so, I still firmly believe our education system as it was then - for all its faults and weirdness - was still SO far superior to the non-system they have now.
It's like they're so desperate to make the statistics read "improvement", they don't really care if there is actually an improvement so long as they can make it LOOK like there is. I despair for the future of academia, I really do.
