    Checkout this 8th grade Diploma test from 1930

    I can GUARANTEE you that most kids graduating HS today cannot pass this test.

    Here is another link related to this:

    It just goes to show you how far our SILLY ideas about education have pushed us.

    If we don't get our head out of our butts and TEACH those that wish to be taught.........

    I'm glad we dumped that garbage. Not one question dealing with math, or applied science, or how to maintain your health, or geometry.

    You gives a witch what state grows what? How about teaching kids how to balance a checkbook, how to save for a future retirement, what interest rates are and mean, what laws effect their states, as well as the history and culture of their own country. Why not a class on home health, including how to avoid bad food from grocery stores, what foods to eat ad avoid.

    Glad we dumped those touchy feely questions like what country has the most people per square inch.

    Hate to say it, but some schools..the teacher's just push the students on to the next year, so they don't have to deal with trouble maker's for another year.....

    That's why some of these college athelete's can't even pronounce words correctly or even say a complete sentence when in front of a camera....

    But i blame the parents as much as i blame the teacher's......

    Just remember that from now on... you are responsible for yoru own childs education. You cannot depend on anyone else to teach them what they need to know. I wish like hell I could afford to quit my job and start a nice farm or ranch where i can home school my kid...


    And for God's sake teach them to type better than me.

    Man I wish parents did take a more active role in their kids education, upbringing and overall lives. My daughter already types better than you and me together.
