Most peope who KNOW everything on this exam couldn't just rattle it off. Tests like these aren't used anymore because they are largely memorization not logic.
I do not like current education BUT I think it is more important to teach critical thinking and comprehension than Jeopardy.
They do need to figure out how to apply math in the word problems, explain a few things about ocean temp, etc, and they at least will know how to use language correctly. I think this is a great example of a curriculum for the 8th grade. I don't even know how big a bushel is.
I thin your concerns are being refought (orchestrated) in the forms of AI (artificial intelligence) and LLM (large language model) learning. The idea of datasets in 1895 vs the future. The “humanity” is the critical thinking that will be missing in a future AI world.

Language laws are memorization as are mathematics and history even science. logic builds a thought process on top of the laws of nature
