Will it help you to understand my sinking of the stomach feeling if I tell you that this comment to a teacher who is heavily involved in this issue is somewhat likely to trigger a ranty mcrantypants reaction akin to those who've had to do the Feminism 101 or Racefail 101 explanation one time too many? Seriously. Education has not "demonstratively dumbed down over the decades" unless you are following the logic of corporate education deformers that, that...no.
There are so many things wrong with this statement to begin with that...sigh. I think I'll just go away, because the only people who can make such statements with straight faces are either heavily invested in corporate education deform themselves, have bought into the faux deform rhetoric, or haven't a clue.
