Only On The Eastern Shore

How we raise kids on the Eastern Shore

Miss Sally Edwards is a highly esteemed third grade teacher at Dorchester County
Elementary. In an effort to prepare her students for the all-important achievement
tests required by No Child Left Behind, she compiled an exam consisting of 20
questions, which she administered to her class last Tuesday. The exam purposely
covered a broad array of topics.

I call your attention to question # 11, which simply read:

LIST, IN ANY ORDER, THE FOUR SEASONS:

1. ________ 2. ________ 3.________ 4. ________

Now, could you possibly imagine that 67% of the students gave the following answer?

1. DOVE SEASON 2. DEER SEASON 3. DUCK SEASON 4. TURKEY SEASON

GOD BLESS THE EASTERN SHORE ........

And I Hope It Never Changes!!
