This just goes to show how far our education has been dumbed down.
Not me, I wasn’t born until 1957.
This test hurts my feelings.
Sorry. This is an urban legend. Please see http://www.snopes.com/language/document/1895exam.asp for the background of this hoary chestnut.
Arithmetic’s doable, but the rest... ah... I may need time. ;)
Since the classroom was different as the teaching of that era and I’ve never been in a classroom of that time period, the answer is no.
I can answer that one. I am currently in Irvine CA for business. I reside in MA. This is my first trip to the West Coast.
The only description I can give of the mountains I've seen this week (between rain storms) is...Holy Crap!
I'll be taking lots of photos this weekend. (If I can tear myself away from The Irvine Spectrum.)
“This just goes to show how far our education has been dumbed down. “
In researching the novel I recently wrote, I learned a lot about education in the 1800’s. First it was valued above anything for those who could afford it. I have volumes of documents, letters, written by Cherokee ancestors from the early 1800’s, all the way through. They had to fight hard to be educated and they were better educated than most students of today. One day perhaps, we will get back to the idea of education being valuable.
I am truly offended and intimidated. That article should have not been written in black. A soft, understated purple should have been used. :D
The students of today know only to vilify our current President and praise the prez-elect.
No, I could not have passed. Maybe I could dig up a McGuffy Reader.
i m a publik scewl teechur. I might be able to teach some of this if the NEA would let me. I would also need permission to discipline my students as they would have in 1895.

Ridiculous!
How will this test help my self-esteem?!
And no mention of global warming or diversity?
At least my ‘F’ should be in purple marker...
1. Describe how you feel now. (4 hours)
wtf...!!! lol no wonder kids today are stupid look at todays teachings.....
Pick up a text book for those times and you’d easliy pass the tests. Things DO change.
Yes, but people being people, just like they are today, very few people back then could probably get an A on these tests, either.
The difference is that the people who did poorer on those tests back then, still studied, were learning, and did learn something. Today you’ve got people not even studying at all for anything.
Wait wait wait wait.....they had school in the 1800’s???
