Old enough to hunt
« Reply #15 on: January 19, 2008, 09:42:19 AM »
I live in Wisconsin and I remember the test when I took it at age 12.  I remember it being ridiculously easy and everyone I knew passed it easily.  And some of these people that passed it later on in school would score 20 out of 50 on USA Geography State test.  I forgot my US history where Oregon named itself Seattle and Vermont was now New England.

Yup, that about sums up my thoughts on that test...and a little bit into our public education system.

Fulmar sometimes education is like pouring 150 octane racing fuel (or whatever the highest possible octane there is) into a yugo. It doesn't accomplish anything due to the inability of the yugo to perform.
