<div>My two big questions are:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1) was the whole Salina curriculum geared to passing the test, as
how many schools now accommodate MCAS?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>2) was this knowledge as useless for life and future employment
(farming for boys, running a household for girls) as much of today's
education?</div>
