Who is asking 16 year olds about mortgage guarantees and artificial insemination?

[overyonder]

This looks like 2 internet jokes that have been mixed together. The later part is borrowed from the old "redneck medical dictionary".

Depends on the subject I guess. I do remember in Home Economics we were taught the various types of loans and what they were used for. I can't remember much of the details but hire purchase was included. The process of appling for a mortgage were more then likely included. This would have been in grade 9 or 10 (14 or 15). My problem is - what is the subject? It goes all over the place, so this was all on one test?

[Auntie Witch]

Ag classes might discuss artificial insemination, as well.

I am trying to remember but I think Artificial Insemination might be included on Reproduction in Senior Biology. When I was working in the science department I mainly set up for experiments and what experiments would be required for reproduction (don't go there ). By grade 11 and 12 the basics of human reproduction would have been covered, so the subject might have been expanded. I don't think they did reproduction as a senior subject though.

Who is asking 16-year-olds to name the four seasons? That one sounds more like an elementary school question to me.

Yeah the real worry is not that the imaginary student that wrote these answer can breed but that the people believe this (and pass it on) can (and proberly have) breed (bred/beard/bread) .

[Cervus]

A number of these are jokes from publications like Reader's Digest; i.e. they've been around for decades and were certainly not written by students.

Not surprising, considering the sideways jab at Asians in it. Ha ha, let's all laugh at Asians because they talk funny!

And what modern American sixteen year old would answer salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar. Vinegar being the particular odd one.

Mortgages are discussed in math classes as well, in word problems among other things. Artificial insemination is also included in the health and wellness program as well, which starts around 11 or 12 yrs. old, depending on the child's birth-date.

[hoitoider]

They're dumb but they know 'benign' is pronounced 'be-nine'.

[Swordmaster]

Maybe the questions were verbal (would also make sense for the "Asian answer" )?

So, um, how are the main 20 parts of the body categorised (e.g. abdomen)?

I did the two math subjects that were designed for acdemically minded student going to Uni, but there was a subject called "Maths In Society", now called "Multi-strand maths" or "Maths 21" or something. It was for students who weren't going into onto to uni and was meant to cover maths used in every day life. Like I said, I didn't do it, but I would imagine Mortgages and lnterests rates would be covered.

Meant to post this last week.
