I posted this elsewhere also but since this is highly scholastical forum I thought you guys might like to try your luck.
How would today's wokies do on this? Maybe at Harvard, Yale, Georgetown? Oh, I got an A+ 100% with Gold Star and Oak Leaves Cluster.   Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "eneever"? Yeah, one of the spelling words is misspelled. That's about par for the eighth grade teachers I've dealt with. Other than the topics being a lot less topical in 2024 than they would have been in 1912, I don't see any big qualitative difference between this and what my 8th graders first semester finals looked like. Across all subjects they had to know a lot more information than that, perform much more advanced math, and write more essays. 8th grade is Algebra 1, English 1, second year of a foreign language and fine art if they didn't take immersion in either, and their last year of general science and social studies before they get into required HS credits in lab sciences, founding documents and economics. They also would have had Geometry and more advanced math like multiplying fractions, exponents, roots and so on in previous years. If that makes your local schools look bad, it's because they are, whatever year it is. |

Education gave way to indoctrination. I was always pretty amazed at how much better educated people a hundred years ago were vs the shit that passes for an education today .

Quote HistoryQuoted: "eneever"? From the page that I linked. https://www.bullittcountyhistory.com/bchistory/schoolexam1912.html Note that there are several typesetting mistakes on the test including a mistake in the spelling list. The word "eneeavor" should be "endeavor." This version of the exam was probably a master version given out to the schools (note that the spelling words wouldn’t be written on a test.) The museum has been told that the exam was handed out in a scroll form (that is why the paper is long.) The typos would have been corrected simply by contacting the teachers and telling them to mark their copies accordingly, much like would be done today. And there might not be quite as many typos as you think; "Serbia" for example was indeed spelled "Servia" back then. |

Pretty close to my 8th grade tests, but that was in 1953.
I saw one test from the 1800s that required the students to draw a diagram of how to hitch 3 horses to a plow to equalize the load each had to pull. Click To View Spoiler |

I have my great-grandfather's college paperwork for his teaching certificate from that same timeframe.
It only took one semester of college to be qualified to teach high school. I guess they assumed if you could pass high school, then pass a semester on how to teach effectively, you didn't necessarily need to take art, theater, gender studies, and a couple dozen other BS classes. For fuck's sake, my daughter is going to be a freshman in high school next year. They are REQUIRED to take an entire year of "Freshman Transition". Basically two semesters of how to be a high school student. Weird how educated people were smarter a hundred years ago. |

I've seen this, or versions of this, posted, here and in other places for years. Different school names used. Might be a real test. Might not. It definitely wouldn't have been a required 8th grade test in any rural one-room school in the farm country I grew up in. There's no doubt that education has been in a free fall and is way worse today than the previous generation, but I don't think anyone in my family could have passed that test - even my grandparents who were born in the early 1900s. DEFINITELY not either of my parents, who were educated in the 60s and 70s. Today's teachers and administrators weren't the ones to start destroying education. They're just continuing a long tradition. |
