Take the 60 question test...

BTW, I was relieved to see that my son's university scored 3rd in the
nation, well above Princeton, etc. It makes my financial pain a little
easier to take.

However, I'm not happy with any of those scores, which are abyssmal, IMO.

Abysmal (one "s," Ed...) is an understatement. I missed 3 (95%) and I'm an
engineer, not an historian. And I haven't set foot in a classroom in more
years
than I choose to admit.

But I was one of those who dropped out of college and went back later. They
made me take a U.S. History class I didn't want. It seemed to me to be more
or less at a junior high level. I was talking to the professor after one
day and
said that I was rather disappointed in his class. He pointed out that, for
many
of the students, this was their first exposure to the material. Now, we had
a lot
of students that were not U.S. natives. So, I retorted that, for graduates
of a
foreign high school that were not ready for a college level American History
course, perhaps a remedial class would be in order.

The professor's eyebrows went up, he shook his head and said, "I'm not
talking
about the foreign students."
