As a senior at a pretty decent high school i would say that its not neccasarily the problem of high school quality degrading, simply it is to hard to find a well qualified teacher and the money to support it. What person with any qualifitcations or degree would take a WAY lower income when they could go work as basic tech support and make more. I am a TA in a couple of tech coures and though the teacher is able to help with basic windows and word, programming C++ is not his strong suite, and its much the same at all other high schools.
