We had AR at my elementary school, and it was the same deal. There was a big tree poster in the library and each kid got a leaf that climbed to the top (100 points). They had to add a branch specifically for the leaves of my best friend and me. Also, it helped that WoT was in the AR system and they're all worth 40-65 points.

Heh. They did something like that when I was in sixth grade, and mentioned a prize for whoever read the most. Two eighth grade girls rolled their eyes at me and basically said "why bother?"
I didn't win though, because they counted "books" rather than pages or quantity. Even when I was reading twice as fast as some kids, it wasn't enough when you're books are three and four times the length.

It doesn't necessarily follow that education is getting worse, though.

To some extent - not entirely - it's just that the ideas of general knowledge were different.

I do agree with you in large parts - but I don't see the full picture as bleakly. Maybe wrongly.
