This is the eighth-grade final exam from 1895 in Salina , Kansas , USA
I prefer to think of knowledge as a living organism that evolves over time; after all, should we be
required to know everything that someone knew back in 1895? that's laughable! they were pooping
in the woods in 1895! and no one knew about global warming! and we didn't realize how dangerous
rain was, and no one had cell phones or the internet, and they had to actually have conversations
in person, and know how to write a sentence. and how important is it to know what a paragraph is, or
when to use capital letters, or anything at all about the imperialist history of the US of KKK?
it's much more important to make people feel good about being retards. THAT is the goal of a decent
educational system.
