Maintaining that, though, through school, pretty much ended when they stopped giving final exams, and then beyond to now? (final exams ended before my time, if school was still... rather exacting (back when))<br /><br />Two of the questions, however, can't be answered (or correctly, for sure). What causes the weather? Unless you go with "God.", they are arguing the science aspects of that today. And about the interest? It depends on what time basis interest is calculated (and whether you borrowed from the bank or are 'loaning' the bank money. :P ) At least two problem questions, and some things have changed. My guess is modern history has even changed so that what was fact is now... whatever they say it is.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-89195393670456961962013-02-26T20:00:38.402-05:002013-02-26T20:00:38.402-05:00I suspect the average high school teacher would do...I suspect the average high school teacher would do poorly on that test these days.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
