I will become 60 soon and I'm unable to realize it. But concerning the situation of US school education: also in Germany the situation had become worse. But, today pupils are more 'equal' on a common lower level of knowledge. I thought in US the 'sputnik shock' should have changed something. Anyway, I hope at least, nobody feels suppressed asking questions here due to my remark concerning knowledge! have a nice day, Rolf
