1912 Eighth Grade Examination for Bullitt County Schools
12th August 2013
This copy of the Eighth Grade Exam for Bullitt County Schools in 1912 was donated to the museum. We thought you might like to see what the test looked like a hundred years ago. Obviously it tested some things that were more relevant at that time than now, and it should not be used to compare student knowledge then and now.
Because that would just highlight how much our elementary education system SUCKS compared to what it was 100 years ago, despite the fact that we have computers and all sorts of wonderful toys and are spending more per pupil than we ever have.

Dare I point out that even 100 years ago, education was publicly-funded? It was, in fact *gasp* Socialist! How could it possibly have produced any good results from such a foundation?

No, *public* education was publicly-funded. And just because something is publicly-funded doesn’t make it socialist. Like most ‘progressives’, most of you you ‘know’ ain’t so.
And it’s still gone downhill since then; no way you can weasel your way around that.

Did I say anything about how it hasn’t gone downhill? Hmm…nope. Didn’t mention it.
Like most reactionaries, you love responding to opinions that people didn’t voice.

I can hear you thinking. The noise of the wheels grinding speeds across the miles.
