  1. I don't believe 12th graders could pass this test.
    I have a set of The Original McGuffey Readers. I guarantee you 90% of the high school students today could not do the required work in what is named, "the younger classics". these books were published in 1836 and widely used in both city and country schools. the teaching community acclaimed the "readers" and the students actually earned a wonderful classic education.
    If you will, try to imagine, the Ten Commandments were taught using these books. Have you passed out yet?
    I digress. The point is our students have been dumbed down by the hand of progressives in this nation and it's a shame to say the least.
    Get you children out of government/public schools asap.

  2. I don't think most grad students could pass this! Sad that our country has closed its collective eyes (snide remark intended towards the left) and allowed this to happen to our students. Now we have idiots that say it is OK to have "4th trimester abortion".

  3. I admit it.. I need an 8th grade refresher.
    It really is such a sad commentary on our defunct Public "Screwal" system.
    But.. we have the answer!.. Throw more money at it!
    Apathy promotes tyranny. But go ahead America, buy ino the MSM and big screen dominated living rooms! Like termites, what you don't see (or care to ignore) will hurt you.
