I remember the 7th grade.

In my class many read at the college level.

Things have really changed.

I recently looked at a test from the late 19th century that 6th graders were expected to pass. It left me wondering how many current college grads could pass it.

We need to concentrate on the fundamentals in school.

I hear you. I tested at 12th grade when I was in sixth. As a class, we read “The Count of Monte Cristo.” That was nearly 50 years ago.
