>Though, in my opinion, education quality has gone down.

What would you think if I told you I graduated in the 1990s and I felt the same way? Where would that put you?

>there was a boy who couldn't read aloud a text without stumbling.

There could be other reasons for that, like fear of public speaking.

Maybe you were in a pessimistic period in your life and I am the same way now.

He didn't fear much. He was a bully.

Honestly I never bought into the stories that the current generation is full of dummies. It's mostly news hype made to make you feel superior about yourself. Those stories are amping up here in the US about Millenials. It's all BS.

Bullies are normally very insecure themselves which is why they shine the spotlight on others. Speaking as a former bully.
