In what ways is education better today than it was thirty years ago?

We can incorporate technology and "take kids" to places they may not go. Videos, not a picture in a book. Multiple sources.
We try to get kids to think and process more with open ended projects instead of memorization. I try not to teach crap they can just look up on the internet.
Those are all good things.
I despise multiple choice tests. They prove nothing. But yet all state tests are MC. Even math.
