| Newly Discovered Eighth Grade Exam From 1912 |
| 2013-08-14 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna ...In Kentucky, an eighth grade exam from 1912 was recently donated to the Bullitt County History Museum. When I read this exam over, I was shocked at how difficult it was. Could most eighth grade students pass such an exam today? |

| #7 I hear ya Besoeker. There were girls to talk to, so there was that. Why yes, I did start a cactus garden over by my daughter's window. (gestures with the shotgun) I just love those yellow flowers. |

| #6 Just for laughs, give that exam to all public school teachers. Fire those who fail. |

| #5 *and guessing 3/4 of classmates would have bombed. Not that I'm some brain or something, just how I remember it. |

| #4 Swk, I'd of done a lot better had there not been any windows in the classrooms. I still blame all of those windows. |

| #3 And that's the problem. Back in 8th grade I would have nailed this test, except the parts about Kentucky. That was also when I had the side-angle-side and my phone numbers list memorized. |
