Unfortunately it seems that our public education system is in a similar decline to yours. Back when I graduated high school, something like 6% of students made the honour role. I recently heard a statistic that honours graduates were now up in the mid 50 percentile (can't remember the exact number). Trust me, when I say, that students definitely aren't 10x smarter than when I graduated. In fact I'm frequently dismayed at the complete lack of basic math and language skills, that I run into on a daily basis.
