it's actually funny to see how useless trivia actually enables you to humiliate people... besides solving daily problems and keeping you from making stupid decisions.
I have no idea to what schools you went, but where I have been so far as a student, they all were most of the time on topic :P
Maybe I am just damn lucky ;P

Dude i nearly failed a year in high school becuse i told the teacher he's wrong... lots of outdated stuff. Problem solving, communication, administration stuff, creativity etc, instead they force lexical knowledge.
Feel free to +rep me if i helped any way!
School in fact teaches you "only" knowledge in general.
By doing so, you have the opportunity to develope intelligence on your own.
Everything before college level is not about learning math/science/art/etc., but learning the basics of life to get started.
And:
Q: "Where you there?"
A: "Yeah, your god took me there to show me around."
Riddle me this you fanatic suckers!
P.S.
Aren't all those fanatics about how dinosaurs never existed since it would support the evolution theory?
So how come the test asks for the day god invented them?
Or did I miss how they came up with a new way to deny the obvious?

This is a school test from somewhere in America, so I have no idea the ideologies behind it. All I know is that it was a confirmed test from a private school, not public.
This is my last year of "study" before I graduate to become a high school teacher for English and Science. I just want to rebut the claim that school just teaches you useless trivia. It completely depends on your teacher and the curriculum. Australian curriculum is all about relating content to context. So for example, I wouldn't just teach you what cells and DNA are - instead, I'd have written a context-based unit, perhaps about genetically modified food, or a case study on various inherited genes.
Or, if the English curriculum tells me I need to teach you functional grammar, I'd not just have a lesson on "grammar"; we'd take up a primary/secondary text and deconstruct it, looking for aspects of affect, appreciation, modality and graduation.
There are some subjects that are hard to make context-based, and the first one that comes to mind is math.

as for similar topic, i hate the recent trending going on in schools, about how you can't ever hurt a kids feelings and **** like that. i swear my senior year in highschool (grad 2010) all the teachers used purple pens instead of red. because red was a bad color, i'm not ****ing ****ting you.
but in general, school is done wrong, its not about learning and growing minds its about memorizing (mostly) useless trivia.
