I think people don't realize this, but through the 1960s most Americans hadn't finished high school. That's the lagged impact of a huge expansion of high school in the first half of the 20th century — I sincerely don't know what the people on the losing side of that argued? https://t.co/sMmzSpzSa4 — PolitiTweet.org

Something I'd be interested in learning more about if anyone better-versed in history has recommendations is what were the debates like during the High School Movement era? I assume there were people who had the take that universal high school was unrealistic or pointless. — PolitiTweet.org

There's also a bit of a paradox: Today's Americans are better-educated than ever, but we've also switched from being the best-educated country in the world to being pretty average for a rich country. So some see increased emphasis on education while others see a decline. — PolitiTweet.org
