I think the opinion is on the part of the editor of my source
(Progressive Review -- Sam Smith) extrapolating the results of a
British study to the US testing (NCLB).
I found the link to the original article is broken. Here's another
attempt:

brainpower-todays-14-year-olds-slipped-radically-just-generation.html#>
bc thinks the study is valid.
p.s. Shayer (quoted in above article) is a researcher in Piagetan
development and "much" referenced. e.g.
http://www.daimi.au.dk/~mec/papers/journal/19--bulletin2006.pdf and

The word "may" is used a lot here. Is this a study or an opinion
piece? Reminds me of the "studies" showing how comic books were
dumbing us down when I was a kid (I'm 64 now).
