    I think they were educated about different things.  Our generation (I
    was born in 1945) needed to know more science than they did, and our
    education emphasized that, especially after Sputnik.  We had to learn
    French, Spanish, or Russian, rather than Latin, and we may have gotten
    greater exposure to European and international government and politics,
    since the US had become a world power.   We were exposed to classical
    stuff and poetry (or at least I was), but it didn't seem as important.
