95 8th grade graduation exam from Kansas in 1895. How many people could pass this test today? At least one state has eliminated reading and math requirements to graduate. Meanwhile, gender, racism, false history and "feelings" have become paramount. How far our education system has fallen.

Damn, those masons were on their game way back then.
Excerpt :
“Geography (Time Limit - one hour)
What is climate? Upon what does climate depend? How do you account for the extremes of climate in Kansas?”
This question, in my opinion, is simply asking the student to consider all the variables which contribute to the change in climate from one extreme to the other. You know, scientifically. I doubt cow farts would have been part of the answer.
Yeah - was mostly joking - shoulda put a smiley on that one.
Nah, I'm glad you didn't because lots of lurkers would have thought exactly what you wrote. Together, we clarified it. Well done, fren.
I think climate depends on John Kerry, right? Also, where can I get the answers to this test? I flunked.
I think Al Gore bloviates a lot of hot air.
Upvote for using the word 'bloviate'.
Bill oreilly is that you?
