[quote:Apocalypse Troll:MV8xNDAyNDg3XzIzMDkxNDE4XzczQTFCNTNE] Just ..... wow. There are no unimportant vocabulary words you moron. It's called English. If you don't want to learn it, don't pass that on to your children. As to the importance of the word "Kestrel", I suppose if you really had to ask that question you will never know. BTW: Kestrels are also fund in Africa and America, amongst other places. But why would that ever matter? [/quote]
Original Message
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. "
