Given the advances in technology and learning methodologies, it is a naturalassumption that modern-day US students have it harder than those that were educated in 1912. However, the recent discovery of an eighth grade test paper set by educators at Kentucky's Bullitt County School District a century ago, seems to indicate that things were not as easy as one would have thought!
During the 1900's schools in Bullitt County were scattered all over the ruralcountryside. Though they all taught the same curriculum, there was no real way ofverifying what kids were learning except, by testing them with a 'common exam'once or twice a year that encompassed everything from language arts to social studies and mathematics.
There is a spelling error in one of the sections of the exam. Can you find it? Hint: It's in the spelling section.
