[QUOTE="trekrok, post: 3845907, member: 6668"] I tried to find some examples of where then vs now was studied and couldn't find much objective data. You'd think that someone would have given a group of 'modern' students some tests from back-when to compare the results, but if they exist, I couldn't find them.

And I agree that time and effort needs to be put in the basics. Art and music are fine for a day or so here and there.

The list of needed Art supplies this year was equal in length to the list of supplies needed for ALL other classes combined in my son's school this year. Sure, pencils cover multiple classes, but still... [/QUOTE]
