[quote:Anonymous Coward 1003705:MV8xNDAyNDg3XzIzMDg5OTY4X0NDRUNCMUY2] I heard the question was something like... What effect do reality shows like "Jersey Shore", have on American society? Most little robots find it difficult, due to lack of analytical thinking from years of standardized testing. Even if you've never seen the show, you should be able to concoct a "for or against" essay. [/quote]

This is it, America is truly falling apart.
And me and my wife were JUST talking about the failing education system last night.
The reason we got on that topic was after realizing one of her "Vocabulary" words for english 101 was "Kestrel". A european Falcon, Why in the world is this an important vocabulary word? Cant wait to use that word on my next job interview.
anyway
"Some high school students were totally stressed out by an essay question on last weekend's SAT. It didn't prompt test takers to write about D-Day or Dickens, but rather, reality television. "
