You weren’t referring to classrooms. You and others say ‘they can just look it up’ about issues in life.Stop telling Teachers to Confiscate Kids' Cell Phones/Electronics. It is a dangerous and ineffective practice
Which kids? The ones who have emotional problems.
You weren’t referring to classrooms. ...
So you believe the ‘they can just look it up’ doesn’t replace knowledge?Yes I was.

I’m pretty sure you responded with a ‘why do they need to know that they can look it up’, but if it was someone else, my apologies."Information" isn't the same thing as "thinking" and "understanding." YOU need to focus on honesty.
They think college students couldn't pass it, because THEY would fail it. That's how their minds work.Another stupid statement by todays conservatives
Thank you.Information" isn't the same thing as "thinking" and "understanding.
When you read that exam it is puzzling what they want kids to know about History. Most of it is over 100 years old.Repeated facts that build knowledge and wisdom. History is about knowledge so you can try to repeat the good parts and avoid the bad parts.
Pretty standard fare at the time. The country was deep in the throes of Revisionism and the South reminding everyone who was still in charge.Almost nothing about the Civil War
If you read those History questions, most are pretty irrelevant.Pretty standard fare at the time. The country was deep in the throes of Revisionism and the South reminding everyone who was still in charge.
Civil War to them is the same as asking today about events their parents, grandparents and communities were all heavily engaged in. It’s like asking a Cambodian about Pol Pot.When you read that exam it is puzzling what they want kids to know about History. Most of it is over 100 years old.
Almost nothing about the Civil War (name the last battle). Nothing about slavery or what led to the Civil War.
Nothing about Kentucky History (Daniel Boone, Henry Clay )
Describe the Battle of Quebec but no Civil War battles.
And the thread is stupid. This is general education. Some kids become English teachers, some become historians, some become physicists.If you read those History questions, most are pretty irrelevant.
Draw Sir Walter Raleigh?
Describe the Battle of Quebec?
The Last Battle of Civil War?
“A survey conducted by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) reveals a lack of knowledge about basic U.S. history and government among American college students. The survey, titled “Losing America’s Memory,” involved over 3,000 undergraduates and exposed significant gaps in their understanding of foundational civic concepts.”They think college students couldn't pass it, because THEY would fail it. That's how their minds work.

Yet most kids today have no clue about the Civil War.It was 50 years ago to them
THE most important war in our History
They ask the cause of the War of 1812 but not the Civil War?
So show the studies comparing that to college students 10 years ago. Then 20. Then 30. Unless they are studying civics, they would be expected to show about the same results as the general population.“A survey conducted by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) reveals a lack of knowledge about basic U.S. history and government among American college students.

We can add to the topic of half of Americans are clueless sheeples unaware of their surroundings because they’re uneducated and are just programmed with group think.
Yet most kids today have no clue about the Civil War.
/—-/ Teachers can’t teach what they haven’t been taught themselves. A high school teacher insisted Japan was part of the allies in WWII.And teachers failing to educate about history is an epic failure since you agree history is important.
College is a place to specialize.I don’t believe that
They probably have more of a knowledge of what caused it, 13th and 14th amendments, Civil Rights
