If I might say, schools in the past teached VERY badly (beatings were the least) and most of the time they only put people middle classed and above into them, if you were not at least middle class, you were in the mines. So comparing to today, people in the past, comparing socioeconomically, were a lot worst than today.
It’s like comparing poor kids today agains the sons of kings in the middle ages, there were gaps in education, not everyone went to school in the past.
