[quote:Anonymous Coward 1288791:MV8xNDAyNDg3XzIzMDkwMDMyXzFFRjdGMTE4] While I can understand where the question is coming from? This is not the first time that I have run into this. My children have only seen television on annual visits to my parents house. We have never owned one. When my daughter (now in fourth grade) was in public school kindergarten, they had weeks based on letters of the alphabet. For 'G' week, the teacher gave them a coloring sheet of Grover from Sesame Street, playing the guitar. My daughter colored Grover red, because the only thing she had ever seen that resembled him was a toy Elmo at her friend's house. The teacher gave her a 'sad face' because Grover was not blue. I have been homeschooling her and her siblings for the last 4 years now for so many reasons, but this is definitely included on the list. [/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. "
