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

[Weatherman2020]

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

You specifically said people can look things up.

Thats Orwellian group think 101 having people tell you rather than you being able to determine yourself.

 

[Weatherman2020]

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?"

When it’s fixed the posts stop.

I’ve got a number of friends who are teachers. ...

I didn't ask you about your friends. Answer the fucking question.

 

[Unkotare]

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

...

Completely wrong. Stop guessing based on hysteria you read on the internet.

How many could properly describe a Republic?

Every one of my students.

Intelligence and wisdom are human traits that are built upon knowledge. Having a smart phone just means kids have the ability to take selfies and watch porn. It doesn’t provide the intelligence and wisdom for making good choices in life.

Yeah, some kids tweet pictures of hammers to mock assault victims...some dumb mother fuckers even vote for those kids’ father thinking he raised fine young men.

....

Are you saying you CAN'T look things up on the internet? You realize you are using the internet right now, right? If you can't be bothered to look up ANYTHING I've ever said about cell phones in schools, then fuck off.

Should we take cell phones out of school? Is it even possible anymore?

I do have an opinion about your claim. You’re full of shit. Have fun thinking that. I've been a department chair in 2 schools, an administrator in 3 and a full time teacher for almost 30 years. I have multiple degrees and certifications. Your opinion means very little to me.

In a couple of weeks I’m lecturing the incoming class at VMI for the third year in a row.

About history.

Irrelevant. You said ‘but they can use cell phones’ implying knowing things is irrelevant.

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

Fuck, that is easy compared to an ACT, SAT, CLEP or military entrance exam.

About history.

Just history in general or have you a specific period or event? I hope you elaborate yer orations better than yer typing skills.

Do you plan on lying?

 

[Moonglow]

Do you plan on lying?

Probably standing at a podium.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Do you plan on lying?

I’m not like you, so I neither lie by omission or intentionally.

 

[Unkotare]

Probably standing at a podium.

Why would you lie to your students?

 

[Unkotare]

I’m not like you, ....

How do you know?


Go on, keep digging that hole.

 

[Unkotare]

Irrelevant. .....

Directly, specifically on topic. Read, coward.

 

[Weatherman2020]

How do you know?


Go on, keep digging that hole.

Because you think technology replaces knowledge.

 

[Unkotare]

Because you think technology replaces knowledge.

Stop telling Teachers to Confiscate Kids' Cell Phones/Electronics. It is a dangerous and ineffective practice

Which kids? The ones who have emotional problems.
