8th Grade Exam from 1912 Most College Students Today Would Fail

[Cellblock2429]

Not sure why people love to post this exact same thing over and over. "Here's a 2nd grade test from 5 AD. College kids today couldn't pass it! Aren't they stupid?"

/—/ I bet the 5 AD test was in Latin.

It's about more than that.

And teachers failing to educate about history is an epic failure since you agree history is important.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Another stupid statement by todays conservatives

The county today has a population of 82,000 grand total. In 1912?

Kids in rural Kentucky were 1,000% more knowledge than Harvard grads of today.

Don’t worry

Students are learning all about Trump. As well as future generations will

Double down on stupid statements

So, more failed gov't., repeating twisted "facts".

It's a solid plan if you wish to tear down the greatest nation on Earth.

If you don’t have a foundation how are you going to know what to look up?

You’re reliance upon smart phones simply validates why you teachers are failures.

Look at that. You're not smart enough to get my point.

When you make categorical statements you couldn't possibly support, YOU seem very stupid. Go grind your axe somewhere else.

Hold on to your hat.

Most of my students support Trump.

Today's kids don't need smarts, just Google.

Exactly wrong.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Look at that. You're not smart enough to get my point.

And you’re smart enough to understand that the failure of teaching history today is creating a generation of sheeples.

Things like smart phone technology that you rely upon has created a mindless group think generation. That’s why most young people see no problem with a dude beating the crap out of a woman at the Olympics and would be happy to burn down the homes of those who oppose it.

The quality of education defines a society. Dumb down people and they turn to mindless sheep.

This is why every "Republican" who allowed the Department of Education to exist is part of the problem as well

When was the last time you observed a History class (or any class) in school?

Google what? Who to vote for so Google can tell you?

Group mind think just like what NAZIS did to their youth.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yeah, very important that we know how to sketch Sir Walter Raleigh.

Its hilarious that some think that this would make America more competitive--knowing how to sketch someone and wish to take us back to 1912.

Without Googling, did you answer ANY correctly?

...e smart phone technology that you rely upon ...

Don't care enough to have read anything I've ever posted about cell phones in schools?

I’ve got a number of friends who are teachers. They’re all disgusted at their marching orders and count the days to retirement.

“
A 2014 report by the National Assessment of Educational Progress showed that an abysmal 18 percent of American high school kids were proficient in US history. When colleges such as Stanford decline to require Western Civilization classes or high schools propose changing their curriculum so that history is taught only from 1877 onward (this happened in North Carolina), it’s merely a blip in our news cycle.

A 2012 story in Perspectives on History magazine by University of North Carolina professor Bruce VanSledright found that 88 percent of elementary school teachers considered teaching history a low priority.”

Do you think it’s any better a decade later?

Why schools have stopped teaching American history

“Don’t know much about history . . .,” goes the famous song. It’s an apt motto for the Common Core’s elementary school curriculum. And it’s becoming a serious problem. A 2014 report by …

Ask high school students to name three Founding Fathers spotting them Jefferson and Adams and only 5% would pass.

How many could properly describe a Republic?
