I can only imagine Ernest T.'s answers to the Salina,
KS test. Ol' man Kelsey's Paciftic Oceant wasn't
mentioned once!

Hey, how come that 8th Grade Exam didn't have anything about Old Man
Kelsey's Ocean? You'd have thought they'd been trying to raise them kids
proper like.

Well, I don't think I could make it past the 8th grade if I took that
test today. But I do know what to do to get a possum out from under a
rock.

Not a lick of truth in this, not a lick.
Please run all these purported truths through snopes.com before posting
them as facts.

Claim: An 1895 graduation examination for public school students
demonstrates a shocking decline in educational standards.
Status: False.
Example: [Collected on the Internet, 1999]
Origins: This
item, purportedly a final examination for graduating eighth grade
students (or graduating high school students, depending upon which
version you have) is of interest because it's supposed to be documentary
evidence of how shockingly our educations have declined over the last
century or so. Why, most adults couldn't muster a passing score on this
test today, people think; that mere schoolkids were expected to pass it
is proof that the typical school curriculum has been steeply "dumbed
down" over the years, pundits claim:
