How we raise kids in Mississippi

How we raise kids in Mississippi

Miss Sally Edwards is a highly esteemed third grade teacher at Grenada County Elementary. In an effort to prepare her students for the all-important TAKS test, she compiled an exam consisting of 20 questions, which she administered to her class last Tuesday. The exam purposely covered a broad array of topics.

I call your attention to question # 11, which simply read:

LIST, IN ANY ORDER, THE FOUR SEASONS:

1. ________ 2. ________ 3.________ 4. ________

Now, could you possibly imagine that 67% of the students gave the following answer?

1. DOVE SEASON

2. DEER SEASON

3. DUCK SEASON

4. TURKEY SEASON

GOD BLESS Mississippi

N E 450 No2

Looks like an A+ to me.

If more of the kids knew this correct answer, we would have a lot less crime.

Being from MS, and recognizing this is the humor section, my wife and I immediately got the answer!

We'd be a better country if kids in our schools actually did answer that question that way!

Why the heck are they giving the TAKS test in Mississippi? I think that would be the first clue that there was a problem!

TAKS = TEXAS Assessment of Knowledge and Skills

Oh my, oh my, oh my....
