It seems like the kids don't know as much. If you take a classics class from 20, 50, 100 years ago, they will have a better understanding of Latin, better understanding of Ancient Greek. Which leaves professors with the choice of watering down the curriculum, inflating grades or both. And when professors have done this for a decade so standards have evaporated I can understand why they would ask "What is the value of what I'm doing?"
