old people are crazy

okay, not all of them, but sometimes i think my g'ma and her friends must be cuz she's always saying such crazy things. apparently her friend told her once, and she completely agrees, that the education they got coming out of 8th grade back in the day (like the 30s?) is as good or better than kids coming out of high school now. seriously? are you kidding me? all i said was, oh, well, grandma, did you take calculus and physics in 8th grade? cuz that's what i did in high school...
sigh...obviously there are problems with education...there are lots of problems in the world...but don't go telling me that it's so much worse now than it ever has been...problems might change, but they never go away...that's just life... oh well...maybe in 2050 i'll be saying the same stuff to my grandkids...ha!
