I'm relieved. I beat you. I scored 51 out of 60 correctly for a total score of 85%.
Basically, I was boned on the financial questions. My knowledge of history, governance, and governing philosophy saved my bacon on this one.
But still...this makes me very depressed. When I was in grammar school (6 to 11 years of age), many school systems were already phasing out "social studies" (basically civics) from the curriculum. By the time I was in high school (14 to 18), no one was teaching it at all.
The loss of civics from the classroom has demonstratively hurt U.S. citizens. It makes me deeply sad.
