[quote:Anonymous Coward 1158661:MV8xNDAyNDg3XzIzMDkyODgyXzU5MTlCMUUw] Here's something similar about the deterioration of standards in schools, so it's no surprise how the SAT is turning out. 'Reform Math' Pay attention to what our children are being taught. Not even simple arithmetic is safe from progressive stupidity. Apples and peaches make great neighbors. Here in "upper" Adams County, Pennsylvania (also the seat of Gettysburg and the battlefields), there are twenty thousand acres of fruit trees. Many businesses are closed on Sundays, and "traffic" consists of getting stuck behind a combine or waiting for the flock of mallards that live behind the 7-11 to finish crossing Route 394. I have often compared it to Mayberry. We moved here in June of 2005, with the first of our four children entering kindergarten in 2007. Like many other conservatives who have been caught sleeping at philosophy's wheel, we stupidly assumed that those persons running the local school district would hold values roughly in line with our own. We could not have been more wrong. More at... http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/11/reform_math_1.html [/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. "
