- naniwaduni 4y agoReading? Arithmetic? Prose composition? Everything in a high school curriculum? Not to belabor the point, but 200 years ago was the early 1800s.
- perryizgr8 4y agoWe've built upon the collective knowledgebase, true. But it is as hard for a person today to do arithmetic and logical reasoning as it was in the 1800s.
