stuff like that shows what a phd is worth these days compared to a grade school education back then! I recently saw a story in one of the UK papers that today’s 8th graders do about as well as 6th graders did back in the 60′s– or something like that.
googling “graduated but not literate” brings up stories like: “<a href=”http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/24/AR2005122400701.html”"Only 31 percent of college graduates can read a complex book” and Graduated but Not Literate.
