Can you pass an eighth grade test from 1895?

[Dave...]

Here's an eighth grade final exam from 1895. The language could cause some barriers. Some things that were common knowledge back then is outdated, or unused terminology today. Still, when your grandparents told you that they only have an eighth grade edumakation, I'll bet you thought them to be a lot less smarter than you. Try it, and see how you do. I only have a GED, but I can tell by looking at it that my GED test was way easier.

On the other side of that, I've run into two completely separate people in my life that told me that the smartest person that they ever knew didn't know how to read or write. To quote an old rock song, that really makes me wonder.

Some of those questions reminded me of the dreams I have when my blood-sugar is low !

Blessings in Christ, Dave, and I wouldn't even wanna look, LoL.

I think the powers that be went to work on this country a long time ago to begin dumbing us down, just like they have in most other regions of the Western (i.e. Christian) world. I was talking to a friend who was about to give birth soon, and was surprised when she told me she planned on home-schooling. But I told her. "That's good, Carla! You do it" Her husband isn't Christian, but he's strongly anti-globalist establishment, and he had told her they would do a much better job educating their child themselves. They're both smart people, so I fully agree.

Any thoughts?

Blessings,
Hidden

Information is old on things.

The republics of Europe are not the same as Prussia is no more . Italy is unified , Austria and Hungary are two separate nations . Germany is a bit different in that too.

Hidden, I agree with that. My sister pulled her youngest out of public school about ten years ago. They were teaching that Christianity was bad and the cause of all the worlds problems and promoting Islam. It's written right in the text books. It was so obvious these kids were being indoctrinated. The teachers didn't even teach, they would put in a DVD, press play, and stand in the hall or go to the teachers lounge, or even MacDonalds. Every day!!! Homeschooling is the only answer these days.

I remember we always used to say, if it gets that bad, where going to do this, and that. Guess what? We're there and then some. I feel guilty because I still watch TV, well, some of it. But still. I've learned a few things about our enemy over my lifetime, he goes after the young, and loves to use victimhood on anyone who will listen, and his tactics are usually death by a thousand cuts, not on the flesh, but on the mind. Little by little.

I'm going to go on record and say I'm not taking the test. I seen a guy on youtube who had two bachelors degrees and he scored a 61%. At least he passed.
