Great Caesar’s ghost!
I can get a few Caesars on the phone - with a side of wings.
Looks like somebody crossed the Rubicon of mistakes.

They should find out who made the mistake and caesar.
Salad dressing dude ping!
A rather “limited” topic there!
Just ONE of the several very influential Caesar’s is “allowed to be tested upon”????
But, you see, there is a reason that I hold most teachers incompetent: The teachers - given a single limited person as a history topic FOR AN ENTIRE COURSE! - re-used the their single limited previous course notes for the new requirement.
And di not notice the difference.
Their administrators did not audit the course, did not notice the requirement nor the course were different!
I’m surprised the teacher didn’t ask them to write about Sid Caesar.
Wow. At least they were not accidentally taught about Cesar Romero instead of Julius Caesar. That would have been complete chaos!
The teachers that taught this history incorrectly are not knowledgeable of history. Otherwise they would have caught the error in the curriculum. Actually I am trying to say they are idiots.
Paul Newman?...................

What percentage of US kids can name any Caesars?
“The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority said it had told the state’s 180 high schools two years ago that the ancient history exam topic would change to Julius Caesar in 2025. The topic had been Augustus Caesar for the previous four years.”
It depends what the mean by “had told”
Was this a one line change buried in dozens or hundreds of pages of documentation.
There is a lot to know about Julius Caesar. Maybe they should pick an easier Caesar, like Tervel, the Bulgar khan named a Caesar by the emperor Justinian II.
Does Sid Caesar count? Of course probably very few US kids today know who he was.
The teacher doesn’t know the difference is where I would start the investigation
Could be worse. It might have been about Caligula Caesar.
I’m just glad high-schoolers somewhere are even studying ancient history.
“””What percentage of US kids can name any Caesars?””
They would probably say Little Caesars. The Crazy Bread is awesome.
