1931 8th grade test

[offgrid]

Listening to Michael Hart recently, he brought up this test.

What grade level could pass this now? If any?

My favorite question is in the Civics category.

Question III

Show how a good home life tends to decrease the need for government.

Wow, I had trouble with quite a few of them.

Yeah good luck finding kids that could pass that now. Maybe at a nice charter school where they actually have to show results or lose enrollment?

The civics questions are wonderful. Wish we could make it mandatory to successfully answer those questions before you are allowed to vote.

I liked the one..... "What do you do when you are under weight?"

when was the last time that was a problem in 'merica??

History Question 3... not that many folks could answer all of them without Google!
