Class of 76 'cleverer' than kids of today - Yahoo! News UK

"The intellect of even the brainiest 14-year-olds has deteriorated dramatically over the decades despite an increase in the number of pupils achieving top grades in exams.

Their cognitive abilities are level with those of 12-year-olds in 1976, the study found."

That's it, blame the kids. Not the educational system or the "greed is good" parenting that puts money ahead of emphasis on children's development.
