@St_Rev Oh god look at that history section. O.O NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT SHIT
/eyeroll at http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/smartnews/2013/07/no-youre-probably-not-smarter-than-a-1912-era-8th-grader/ … Look. Geography functioned as a way to fill classroom space. Most of its content was valueless.

@ozymandias314 Education means memorizing lists of names, didn't you know? -
@St_Rev And battles! Battles are very important. The only important thing that happened in all of history is war.

@St_Rev@ozymandias314 Biggest problem w this is there is no way to tell how specific or general instruction was. -
@St_Rev@ozymandias314 For example did students know a lot of history or is the sample of topics on the test more or less all they learned? -
@St_Rev@ozymandias314 "This week, the Battle of Quebec." -
@St_Rev@ozymandias314 On the other hand the arithmetic section, which is not mere fact memoriz'n, pretty impressive comp'd to today. -
@simplic10@ozymandias314 Nah, it's pure memorizing. Maybe a tad advanced for a modern 8th grader, but. Volume of a box, Pythagorean theorem -
@St_Rev@ozymandias314 Compound interest? Broken down into daily? -
@simplic10@ozymandias314 That one is super fishy. Doesn't say if it's compound or simple, suspect simple. -
@St_Rev@ozymandias314 Oh yeah. I assumed compound; if simple very easy. - 1 more reply
