In 1989 I was a HS freshman and had to do Saturday detention for something I have now long forgotten. What I remember was clearing out part of the attic that was filled with decades old yearbooks and other school papers. I saw the requirements for students in the sixties and all the books they had to read to graduate and all of them were far advanced than what we were reading. The shit the average student had to do to get a HS diploma is now advanced college level shit. I'm sure it's gotten much worse in the 20+ years since.
