I do know that one question on the 6th grade math had no correct answers.

And when a smart kid figures that out...it is distracting for him/her as they continue on with the rest of the test.

someone went to the original author and interviewed him.
He complained they had rewritten his story - and he also thought the questions were silly.

It is obviously a subliminal attempt by the New York State Teacher’s Association to force their homosexual agenda on us by pretending that fruits are just like everybody else.

Yes, several years ago the NY Board of Regents decided to change “The Old Man and the Sea” to “The Elderly Man and the Sea.”
