The Caxton
question was a multiple choice on the inventor of the
printing press. Choices were Claxton, Gutenberg, and two
irrelevant others. If I recall correctly, the kid guessed
Claxton.
It surprised me that these kids, some of which had
been accepted to college, were ignorant of much
high-school level history. Then again, if the average student
at Rutgers is any indication, maybe they weren't so
ignorant after all.
