Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader?

About this trail:
I watched this show for the first time last night, and thought it was pretty cool. Adults are asked questions that kida in 1st-5th grade should know, but the average adult may have forgotten. 5th grade students help them out when they get stuck. I think this would be a great show to watch as a family, because the kids will feel so much smarter than their parents!

Apparently there was some controversy over the casting of the kids and contestants. This guy wrote a great article on it.
1. I love this!  This proves our teacher's today are worthless IMHO.  Nothing like in the days when I was in school, in the 70/80's.  Teacher then were strict & taught you, nothing like teachers today which is why this show will mark exceptional ratings & maybe we will be lucky & some new regulations will be set for our country's teacher's so our children that grow up and rule our country will have some intelligence.  LOL

2. I agree! My mom works at an elementary school, and it's so sad that they spend more time making sure the kids pass the WASL (our state test) so they can get government funding, and less time on actually making sure the kids are engaged and educated.
