Two answers - some subjects aren't real subjects (like media studies ffs). I know the exams have changed, but the basic ones like maths a-level (son and I did them 25 ears apart) haven't changed much. I believe the exposure kids have to knowledge has expanded exponentially.
In edit - some kids leave school illiterate cos teaching failed not cos exams are easier. And the parents have suffered the same problem 20 years ago and can't support the kids' education.

Should libraries be open longer and do more stuff?
I did used to think this. But having spent last year working with 6th formers, I can say that if the system they have now (one assignment after another with no exams at all, the pressure is enormous) were in place when I was at college, I would not have done anywhere near as well as I did.
In edit - sorry Foxy!
My local library is brilliant - can't knock it.

I had difficulty with zoos, I read the answers and thought no one is talking about wild beasts, so what really does zoos mean in the modern day language?
But ghosts! Ah now as a student psychic medium I can respond to this one.
A ghost is nothing but mere energy left in space and time.
You know how you may go via a certain route over and over again in your life, well some of your energy remains in that place even after you die and certain people (though everyone has the ability) can 'see' that image reflected in its place. After all a ghost never does anything other than what it has always done... but a spirit...now that's a different matter entirely... and a different topic entirely.
