Hmmm... Perhaps this is just a generation gap thing. I seriously doubt that kids are less smart than we were, more likely they're being taught things that we don't appreciate and don't understand as valuable. Maybe.
My take on it is that performance in school doesn't neccesarily dictate performance in life. In school I was a serious under-performer. Just barely graduated from high school and dropped out after two years at a community college. But now a decade later, I'm in the top 1% of all wage earners. The skills I learned to make my way in the world diidn't come from school, they came from observations of the world around me. Who's to say kids these days are any different. (although some of them are just total dipshits, but that's always been true.)
