I just wonder how many of today's mega funded public education 8th graders could answer these questions. I've always been amazed at the curriculum of the 18th century one room schools. Things have certainly changed. It seems there are two different educational system in this country, one that actually teaches and produces graduates that propel our country forward and the other that seems to kind of teach how to fill out govt funding applications in the guise of grants, scholarships, welfare, etc. Unfortunately the latter seems to be the majority.
