It would be fascinating to give this simple "naturalization" citizenship test to high school seniors...fascinating, but probably the test results would be disgusting.Do you have what it takes to become a citizen? You answered XXX% of questions correctly. Here's your rating: 0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country -- and that's where you should probably be. 25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn't going to impress those nice immigration folks. 45-60%: Not too bad, but you really need to break out the civics books again -- word is, the INS is looking for an 80 percent score. 65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick. 85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

Yeah, maybe you're right and those bits of knowledge about American government aren't very important.I can see how they would get lost in the shuffle between teaching kids not to resist or hit back and learning how to put a condom on a cucumber. You know, the really important stuff. IP: Logged |

Not too shoddy:You answered 85% of questions correctly. Here's your rating: 0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country -- and that's where you should probably be. 25-40%: Mmmm.
