"But John Wright, the head of the state teachers union, the Arizona Education Association, dismissed the report as a "gotcha piece of writing.""
and
"Ronald Marx, the dean of the University of Arizona's College of Education, said he wasn't pleased to hear the findings but said he was more concerned than alarmed,"
Those two sentences reflect the reason for the sorry state of American education these days.
Can somebody please explain what these kids do in school all day. They rank poorly in International comparison tests in Science and Math and they don’t know basic facts about their own history. Maybe it’s time for less “projects” and more “rote” learning. 74% Didn’t know George Washington was the first President. So called “Education” in the US is a monstrous scam !!!!!
I got em all right but I can understand high school kids missing some of them....except for...”who was our first president”.
I’m Canadian and got 9/10 (missed the author of the BOR).
These questions are unfair. When the Community-Organizer-in-Chief and four out of nine Supreme Court justices don’t know any of the answers, how can we expect a high school student to know? [BTW, I got them all right.]
i got them all right. my 14yr old only missed the one about the supreme court. he is refusing to believe that only 25% knew washington was the first president. he does however feel completely justified for missing the scotus question.
Shouldn’t the test be in Spanish?
And it's biased...and not fair.

I see Arizona is turning out a bumper crop of future Zero supporters.
This sort of quiz is deceptive. Usually it is given “cold”, and adolescents are both narrow minded, literally, and have been pumped full of other data recently, so their minds are not on the subject at hand.
The results would have been much more informative if the test had been on the “background” of the students knowledge. For example, several of these answers might be correct:
3. What are the two parts of the U.S. Congress?
a) Have you been taught about the U.S. Congress in class?
b) Do you know the answer to this question? (That is, they think they know the right answer, but just can’t think of the words.)
c) How long ago did you study government?
d) Do you have no idea about the answer to this question?
e) Are you busy thinking about something important right now?
