WTF Happened to America?

Irrelevant. Door nobs aren't made of carbon.

It depends on the metal that's used to manufacture the doorknobs. Even some brass alloys have carbon in it.

I was homeschooled, due to illness, not choice. I was taught real science. But among other homeschooled children, and in many teaching materials available to homeschoolers, this kind of thing was quite common.

But a surprising number of those answers could be considered correct. 4 could be. Not all species of dinosaurs have lived with humans - most haven't. But some have and do. Here's a picture of some dinosaurs pulling chariots.

5 makes logical sense. The first (single-celled) animals had to eat plants - there were no other animals around. Unless they ate chemicals - chemosynthesis may have come first. But those creatures may not be considered either plants or animals. And human ancestors ate plants before developing a taste for and skill for acquiring meat.

7 is probably true as well, though I can't think of a specific example. "Sharp" isn't a very clear definition anyway.

It depends on the metal that's used to manufacture the doorknobs. Even some brass alloys have carbon in it.

But the carbon wasn't necessarily pulled out of carbon dioxide in the air (usually by plants), so it can't be used for carbon dating.

Do NOT get me started about home schooling...you however of course are excused....

IKR. Next thing you know they'll be teaching kids that Climate Change is actually good for us!

Oh Snap!

Question #6 - Job 40 is neither Genesis nor one of the Gospels.

This is just crazy.

This reminds me of when NASA comes out with a statement about some planet they spotted light years away like they know for certainty that it is habitable. They are just guessing. What a joke.

"Faith Based School"
What the fuck! That is FUCKING REAL!!
Somebody intentionally brainwashed a 5th grader into believing all that horseshit?
Apparently, they didn't even do it as some kind of vicious troll attempt.

I don't think American public school students are in any position to tease anyone, idiocracy is coming and religion is not what is leading it.

I didn't see any report on the population of students in each country taking the exam. At 15-16, we still have close to 100% of our kids in our education system. I don't think the same thing is true in China.

FYI for those who do think carbon dating is the only method.
There are quite a few other ways for dating things that don't even contain carbon.

Yes, Earth is older than 6000 years, and saying otherwise is like dismissing the idea that red blood cells contain iron.



(Or that a creator entity intentionally made many false indications of Earth's ancient origins.)

qft.

 

[Triloby]

BTW the school closed due to lack of funding..

Good.

but all those union teachers are the best in the world.

Yeah, the teachers are probably the biggest issue with our education system.

I taught in South Korea for over 2 years.

My Korean students were so much better academically it's actually scary.

 

[SlowSpyder]

interesting photo.

Now look up when the door knob was invented and see if you can spot the fault. That's not 300 million years old, that's not coal, those aren't door knobs, or any combination of.

WTF Happened to America?

I put my money on when we were no longer allowed to say Merry Christmas and calling it a Christmas tree...

I am still shocked how foreigners who came this country on their own free were able to accomplish this....FWIW, my parents came to this country back in the 60's...

What? Are you talking about in schools?
Some foreigners came to America and forced separation of state and church?
What foreigners?
