    Texas biology exam:

    The reason dinosaurs no longer exist today, is because Noah forgot to load them onto the ark.
    True or false?

      False. Moses wasn't born during the time of the first ark, and dinosaurs wouldn't fit in the second.
      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

        First of all, slap me silly, for transposing Moses with Noah.

        Second, logic such as size of animals versus size of the ark do not apply in science classes.

          Don't be an idiot. That's history, not biology. Texas history education, like history education in the rest of the country, begins at the year 1492, when the first important event in world history happened.

            It's biology because it's about dinosaurs and how they became extinct.

                Student:

                Wow! Jews had cars in 1492?!?

                  So anyway, as I understand it then, teachers in elementary and high school in America no longer teach English writing and grammar?

                      So why don't elementary and high school teachers teach students English grammar and writing anymore?

                        I guess for the same reason that history teachers teach anything other than Lincoln was a master politician.

                          Good question. The ones I have aren't stupid, but too many are below grade level in reading when I get them. I could spend half my class on just that.

                              Well to be honest, I am exaggerating.

                              Only about three of my twenty-two students are truly bad in their English writing and grammar. Most of the others are mediocre, and then the few remaining ones are excellent in their writing and grammar.
