Title: Re: Common Core Failure? Post by old.indian on 04/28/15 at 19:52:26 Snapped ??? Naw.. He is simply aware of the mindset of too many of todays college kids.. Narcissistic, spoiled, and convinced of their entitlements. Before I retired and moved I was involved with IT at several New England Ivy League universities. One of my favorite run ins was with a student who demanded special services. "Do you KNOW who my Father IS !!!" "No. I'm sorry.. Don't you???" AND having seen the quality of Texas A&M's recent graduates. ::) |

Title: Re: Common Core Failure? Post by Paraquat on 04/29/15 at 06:09:28 I got a 49% I didn't know a person was a verb. I knew all the mountains, but none of the water features. The first question messed me up. As a machinist I reference thou (.001) and tenths (.0001) all day. But I vaguely recall being taught decimal, tenths, hundredths, thousandths... --Steve |

Title: Re: Common Core Failure? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 04/29/15 at 07:17:20 That's just Loaded with trick questions. When was the last battle of the Civil war fought? As IF that sucka is Over.. Ohh, history and geography wrecked me, I did great foR the first seven.. then it got hit and miss, then, pretty much all miss. Well, dang, went back to get the grade, I can't remember if it exactly, its below thirty, but it wasn't below mid twenties. Pesci, you da Man. |

machinists rarely talk about pennys (.01) and dimes (.10) like school kids do. |

Title: Re: Common Core Failure? Post by HovisPresley on 05/12/15 at 05:54:10 I managed to get 62% correct. Not too bad for a Brit that has never studied US history, although the questions relating to the Balkans perhaps gave me an advantage. I answered the Romania question correctly, but I don't believe it is 'Balkan', maybe it was back then. What age group would this exam be aimed at? |

Title: Re: Common Core Failure? Post by Art Webb on 05/12/15 at 18:21:02 It's aimed at an 8th grader, so 12-14 years old Few 8th graders today could pass it, an alarming number of them are functionally illiterate |
