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. " [ link to theweek.com] There's an American kestrel. They're quite common in the southwest. They're different than the hawks around here, considerably smaller, for one thing. So it's handy to know the correct word when you're talking about them. Just because something is outside your experience doesn't mean it's useless.
