We give everyone in the U.S. high school education and we don't make the claims you make above.
We used too. A high school education meant something to my grandparents.

- cptnapalm 6y agoI once picked up a hundred year old Latin schoolbook meant for grade schoolers (fifth grade, I think). It was significantly more information dense than the college course Latin textbook I had.
- rbanffy 6y agoLatin was much more important a hundred years ago than it is today. Also, a college education was not a given back then. OTOH, I can imagine the HS-level Physics books were very different from the ones we studied with, with different subjects given different depths.
- ryanmarsh 6y agoLatin is a good subject to learn as the foundation of many modern languages, and subsequently other subjects such as logic and philosophy.
- ryanmarsh 6y agoYou should see the books I was taught to read with. Written in the 1800's. They'd be considered 8th grade reading level these days.
