99% of the test is irrelevant in the real world unless you are personally involved with the subject. It's all about learning to learn not temporary retention.

In eighth grade here in NYS, we took Regents in each of those subjects. We had to know a lot more than the 1912 test.

Irrelevant? How is it “IRRELEVANT” to LEARN and RETAIN the HISTORY, LAWS, POLITICAL STRUCTURE, CIVIC DUTIES and other subjects that form an educated,informed, and responsible citizen? Those who deny history are bound to repeat it. Evidence today!

“It’s all about learning to learn not temporary retention.”

You can’t learn anything without learning facts. Would you prefer to go to a doctor who has only learned how to learn?
