[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 623149, member: 4674"] The schools have not changed that much since my kids were in school that was some 20 years ago. I will pass on a story about a test my son had to take in junior high sicence. The teacher had a question that went like this which of the three engines requires no oxygen to run. 1. Gas 2. diesel 3. rocket. My son understood that the gas and diesel engines require air cleaners so he answered rocket. the majority of the class answered diesel. The teacher marked my sons test question as incorrect. Needless to say he came home hopping mad. I told him to go to school and ask the teacher if it was a diesel then why did they have air cleaners on the engine. The teacher gave him credit but did not adjust the grades of the rest of the class. My son also figured that the rocket also had to have some oxygen somewhere to be able to operate. The smart kids will always be smarter and the not so smart will always be not so smart. The problem with the schools is that they try to take a not so smart kid and make a smart one out of him.
