If so, America is in trouble. So, as long as you can memorize all of the information on the test, you do not have to go to school anymore? Really? Let's just continue "dumbing us down!"

Here is an application to higher education:<br /><br />"At its recent meeting, the board decided to require all students to take a course on the history of the institution, citing studies which indicate that students who know about their own history outperform those who do not. Accordingly, all instructors who teach the same course will be required to use the same book, syllabus and exams on the history of the institution. To ensure that the institution and students achieve the maximum benefit, all students and instructors at the institution will be required to use the same book, syllabus and exams, on the history of the institution, for each and every course. The hope is that all colleges and universities will see the wisdom in adopting this course of action and follow this example."<br /><br />Safro Kwame<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738925154661156525noreply@blogger.com
