4th grade science quiz...could you pass it?

For your consideration:






BTW, this, reportedly, is from the Blue Ridge Christian Academy in South Carolina.

I don't know about anyone else, LTK, but I would have so failed that test ...

... and ever so happily. :dry:

Sort of brings up thoughts of parts of that Bill Maher film, "Religulous".

Yeah. I'm with you there.

I've been wanting to see that film for years now; I can't believe I haven't watched it yet.

If I took this test... a note would be sent home, a meeting with the principal arranged and I would probably get suspended. Lol

My answer to #12 would have been wrong on Jeopardy, I guess.

What is: A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking?

Haha -- nice.

Wow, that's really a test given to children???

Part (and most) of me wants to say something critical of it, but I don't know. Some of the stuff they teach in public schools is pretty sad too.

I guess the silver lining is kids will grow up and most of them will start to think for themselves. Then they can decide what to keep and what to let go...because some sharp toothed animals really are herbivores/omnivores.

This was actually thought to be a hoax at first until the childs father came forward and made official complains against the school. I read somewhere a while back that they home schooled after that!

I put the link to snopes regarding this story on my OP just so other Jedi would know it hasn't been proven yet.

Pretty crazy stuff...based on what has been coming out, it seems it will turn out to be factual...

Hmmm...I'm not so sure about that. I don't have the stats in front of me (nor do I want to look them up, haha, just a casual conversation here), but I would think it is only a minority of children that actually break the mold and leave the religion they grew up with (which is good and bad depending on who you ask).

It took me well into adulthood to finally start thinking for myself and break the mold. I'm not sure if that's an indictment for or against my reasoning skills, haha.
