Number 7 is going to start an endless debate on the true answer.

Why, the micro-agressive spelling list has “masculine “ in it.
That is so patriarchal.
Hopefully those students had a safe space...

My answer to #9 in History was instantly “Bill Clinton,” but I know that wasn’t exactly the answer they were looking for.

I’m not sure I would get ANY of those math problems right.

I did, however, notice that one of the spelling words is misspelled (typo). :-)

The 1912 test proves what? Not much. Most people were farmers and being an apprentice was the best schooling there was.

Go back and look at our 8th grade tests in 1957 in Upstate.

They didn’t leave much room to work out the mathematics and write the answers on that test form, did they?

Maybe, but I’m bumping so as to see the comments at lunch time.

If you are referring to #7 under Arithmetic, I get 72 girls and 48 boys. Why should this be debatable?

Depends on how many self-identify as the opposite sex.

Questions #6, history...

Congress can not pass a law that turns an act into a crime after the act was committed.

Number 7 is going to start an endless debate on the true answer.

If that question was asked today:

7. A school enrolled 120 pupils and 5 pupils were trans gender males, and 3 pupils were trans gender females, 10 identified as gender fluid the remaining 102 identified as traditional cis-gender. Explain why identifying your classmates by outdated concepts such as "boy" and "girl" is an offensive and outdated relic of the past when America was built on sexism, homophobia and outdated Christianity based white privilege?

I guess it would depend on the population of Obama’s extra seven states.

#7 would be worded the same today, but the answers would determine which kids need to be reassigned to less transphobic parents.

Wasatch mountains are in Utah, I think.

As for the overall test, I think I would be repeating 8th grade.....

Please read “The Whistling Season” by Ivan Doig. It is the story of a one-room schoolhouse in Montana at the turn of the 20th-century. Great book. This was the type of test they were prepping for...and it really prepared them for real life in the process!

Is Bullitt county anything like Hazzard county?
