“your children are the victims of child abuse. “
That’s just stupid.
There are a number of important dates in history so to say not knowing when Julius Caesar was assassinated is child abuse is yet another moron that just needs to shut the hell up.
What was the first battle/act of aggression in the War of Northern Aggression (i.e. Civil War) ?
Fort Sumter
“On which date was Julius Caesar assassinated?”
His last one.
Douchebag.
Did Einstein know his own phone number?
There were 21 auxiliary verbs when I had to learn them.
.
If they know how to pull up porn on their phones they meet the Public schools standards for HS graduation.
Ready for welfare or jail or both.
“Can you name your Natural Rights? HINT: There are three.”
Wrong. He is probably referring to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the DOI. However, the DOI does not limit it to three =>
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that AMONG THESE are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
(My emphasis, of course)
I homeschooled my kids for 12 years and learned more homeschooling them than i ever did in public schools.
That said, I have not read most of your reading list, the dates in history are irrelevant as are some of the facts that you are asking about.
Public education these days rots, but it’s not child abuse to not know all the stuff you are demanding kids know otherwise they are abused.
I myself cannot do all of those. But my phone, on my person, always can. So I can save my memory for Taylor Swift lyrics and snarking on FR.
Quite a few of those queries weren't even known by kids, who went to school in the 1920s through the early '60s, when such things WERE actually being routinely taught, until they were in high school.
My grandparents were taught algebra and geometry in the 7th and 8th grade; however, by the time I was in school, even elite private schools were NOT teaching algebra and geometry until high school!
OTOH...my progeny got algebra ( but NOT geometry ), in a very elite private day school.
And now their progeny are getting sort of algebra and geometry, in a private day lower & middle school; however, classic lit is no longer being required reading in any lower nor middle school, that I know of, to the extent it once was,so the English section of this article is also ridiculous because it doesn't have age groupings.
The history part is also all over the place! The ENLIGHTENMENT? In what grades? That wasn't EVER taught in lower grades, in this nation. But some of the other stuff was and still is.
Let’s take the first question.
“Who invented the cotton gin?”
I remember studying about that in grade school.
If you look up “cotton gin” on the Internet (which is what a kid would do), Wikipedia will show you that it was Eli Whitney.
If you continue to read the article, you will read that the cotton gin caused the Civil War.
So, what has the child learned?
Baloney.
Teach the child to research and then question and think.
The Liberals consider themselves to be highly educated because they know Eli Whitney caused slavery.
My phone knows all these answers and more. duh.
If you don’t know the name of the Civil War...
Lol
you do realize that the Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation (which were a disaster by the way).
I tried to help someone out on here about less/fewer and was labeled a grammar N*zi.
“Can you cite the four rights enshrined in the First Amendment?”
There are 5 rights enshrined in the First Amendment. Religion, speech, press, assembly and petition.
Do I get get bonus points for this?
