Its a hard question to answer. Where I am from I can say that alot of kids in my high school graduating class (2009) just don;t have the work ethic that myself and a few others had. The worst ones were the upper middle class kids who had their mommy or daddy buy them a nice fancy car. I worked my butt off since I was 15 to save enough to buy my first car, it was a 93 dodge dakota with 240k miles on it for 1000 bucks, But it was 4x4 manual extended cab, What more can I ask for.
Needless to say allot of those kids did not go to college, they got a job with their parents and lived happily ever after. However, the kids from lower middle class or lower class kids seem to have a better work ethic. They worked for all their clothes (mommy and daddy didn't buy them for nothing) they worked for their cars etc... Kids that grew up, or work/worked on a farm seem to be the best. After a few years of farm work, most of us could walk circles around everyone else in our VoAg program.
Do I think that high school teaches less then before? No. I do however think that kids have lost the value of education, schools are more focused on college prep etc. The first one is more applicable, Kids try to just pass classes to get out of high school, there is not much of a drive anymore to do "good" in school.

He was the one with the threshing machine, a JI Case on steel wheels, and he pulled it to our farm with a JI Case standard tractor also on steel. In those days, steel wheeled implements were common. The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
