Default Re: think YOUR 8th grade exam was thogh ?

Let's understand education. No I have an MBA and I could not pass that test. However if you gave me some time to study each subject I would pass it with flying colors. That is the meaning of education. I could answer some of those questions but certainly not get a passing grade, if I did not study the subjects currently.

Those kids in that time period studied those questions and subjects. Kids today study similar subjects, I think. Although they spend to much time with calculators and do not learn math the old way which is best. Today I, of course, use calculators. But I can tell when an answer is wrong. Because I learned the old way. If kids would study the same subjects some would pass the test even in today's world.
