I wonder exactly what the average boys education was like back in the day in terms of Latin and Greek - at least for those who went to a school where such things were taught. I'm pretty sure Schopenhauer was in middle school when he started learning, and Kant wrote his college thesis in Latin (which he wasn't alone in). So obviously time is a huge factor in these figures' proficiency, but I am sure their education was a lot more strict than what they are now for Latin and Greek - which in my own experience (not even comparing it to the past) has seemed like a joke.
