HilariousThat's because most rural schools 8th grade was the last grade. 'High schools' were usually specialist schools, like for trades and business courses. Passing 8th grade wasn't as easy then as it is now. Hence the old country song bragging about having an 8th grade education and being wrong to 'be treating him that away'. Most 'apprenticeships' began at 12, i.e. 6th grade, which is where most kids stopped regular schooling.
If you were educated you would know this.
Very hilarious
