In looking at current education I considered what my father did in High School. It was common amongst most students not in the trade schools. Four years of Meth; Elementary Algebra, Geometry, Intermediate Algebra, Trigonometry, Advance Algebra and then Solid Geometry. Four years of English, four of Latin, three of Spanish. Chemistry, Biology and Physics. American and World History. All having New York State Regents Exams to graduate.
These men then were sent to war. But their education allowed them to be sonar, radar, fire control, radio specialists with minimal additional training. In today's world it would require massive remedial training. We have allowed dumbing down to the extreme. Pity
