Are you smarter than a 1912 eighth grader in Kentucky?
Below is a link to a test given to eighth graders in Bullitt County, Kentucky. It is humbling.
Funny how well students learned in old-fashioned, frequently one room, schools.
Farm kids such as my parents, rarely went to "high school", and so did not go beyond the eighth grade. However, they learned all of the necessities of language, writing, math, world and local geography and civics, for good life skills, citizenship and attending to the business of self-government.
