These tests would be classified today as child abuse. Damn, my head almost exploded!
Even in the fifties and sixties we would have had trouble with much of this.

My Mother grew up during the depression, left home and went to work at the age of 16.
I was always amazed at how smart she was and how much she knew, not to mention her flawless penmanship.
The sad reality is that our educational system isn't working no matter how much money we throw at it.
Can you say dumb, dumber, dumbest?
