Who says school life's got easy?

There are those who say that school exams have got easy and that general standards have slipped since their generation. Some date the start of the decline to the 70's and the introduction of decimalisation. The tuffest thing I had to do at school was the 1500m track event. However, Leo being still at primary school, just told me that at last week's games he had to run 200 miles!
