I’m with Donna on this one. Those kids NEED some history help. Actually, I’m surprised at Miles

Everyone knows that Charles Schulz invented the peanut.

These kids are off the rails again.

Not sure home schooling has any better of a reputation. And the grades aren’t transferable to a higher institute of learning.

back in 1975 when we were at the ford museum in detroit and my younger brother read how ford did this ford did that asked “is this how he got to be president?”

And I thought it was Jimmy Carter.

Peanuts were invented by the Lord.

What about them at the North Pole?

Here’s another interesting fact: Much like how peanut butter was invented by George Washington Carver, the potato chip was also invented by another black man named George Crum. He came up with this delicious delicacy when he was slicing a French fry extra thin for a customer at his restaurant. You learn something new everyday.

John Harvey Kellogg is also frequently falsely attributed to being the reason several things are done in American culture and the reason he invented corn flakes is also falsely attributed to a different reason (He did have insane beliefs but the things attributed to him were actually popularized by different doctors and he disagreed with). Once these things get out there, they take on a life of their own.

Sigh. Actually, she’s got a great idea. Unfortunately, a lot of parents know even less about history.

Such a mish-mash of misconceptions! I feel like I’m reading Get Fuzzy with Satchel and Bucky having one of their usual conversations!

Kellogg developed Frosted Flakes to limit the amount of sugar a kid would consume after watching his 10 year old boy dump like 5 teaspoons of sugar on his corn flakes.

Next up, they’ll say Ben Franklin ‘invented’ Electricity !! … :)

I’ll bet they could accurately name all of the Ninja Turtles and recite the McDonalds song word for word.

My granddaughter is taking AP history in high school, and had her final the other day. An example of one of the questions: What was the cause of the Civil War (USA)? A. Slavery. B. States rights. C. Status of new states joining the union. All three answers are correct, but the students were supposed to mark the BEST answer, though no criteria was given to determine that, so it was basically the teacher’s opinion. Now, why do kids not understand history in this country?

First assignment; look up the meaning of Invent

Should have said, “Public school in Florida, amiright?”
