Could You Have Passed the 8th Grade in 1895?


 

I thought we were supposed to be getting smarter and more advanced as time goes on? Getting a high school diploma or GED isn’t even this hard, and they are all multiple choice questions so you have a chance of just guessing to get them right anyway.

Doh – I’ve really gotta start reading the comments on digg before I post stuff! Haha.

    in present day, many foreign school systems are infinitely more challenging than the u.s. system (russia, sweden, japan).

    That’s just typical European snobiness. If you ever had a chance to see worldwide college rankings, you might have noticed that American colleges fill the majority of the top 100: And those colleges don’t import all of their students from Europe and Asia.

    Schools nowadays try to teach more pratical stuff. It’s like my girlfriend’s “Introduction to Computers” class, where she has to explain with fabricated phrases what is hardware and software and why they are important which is utterly useless.

    If all I know of computers today came from what I learned in school I’d still be playing Solitaire during my free-time on the computer.

    I didn’t feel stupid when I looked upon those questions, I felt more practical and I’m glad to see the system has evolved.
