[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 2548686, member: 113268"] I think you are reading way more into this than it actually is. Didn't Jay Leno or some other late night person walk around the streets of New York asking simple history questions that most got wrong badly? Some could not answer who the current president was. It was almost a weekly thing or it seemed like it. I think part of it is that people don't retain information they are not interested in. They will learn it long enough to take a test and then almost immediately forget it. It got me through college. Also, your average college student could care less about politics and current events. Lastly, the educational system does not really care whether students learn. They just want to get them in and out, Lets not forget they are drunk college kids on spring break. Why would you expect anything more? [/QUOTE]
