There was no way one can find all 4 ions in practical exams (you can easily find 3 ions but 1 was always a guess coz of impurities).
you are basing this for telling the people who are studying now are doing less...
When we did biology, there was nothing more than frog dissection, at least in my times.. Now there is a fish dissection and rat dissection and stuffs... I din't know C programming until I was in college. But now, its unimaginable.

The books are twice as big even for state boards, let alone the ICSE and CBSE boards... They are learning linear algebra in schools and introduced to quantum theory. And they are learning what I learnt in a particular class at ages/classes lesser than that!!
