There are a few standardized tests-- TASS is one of them. When I was in school it was SAT. The tests are implemented pretty much nationwide but the tests have little to no power. In other words, you an fail the test and still graduate High School. The tests are important for the student when it comes to applying for college admission, and for the school when it comes to aquiring funds from the federal government for the schools.
Pretty much all of the exams that effect one's classroom success are locally set, often by the teachers themselves.

By the teachers themselves? I thought Italian degree courses were a bit iffy, but I haven't come across this idea. I suspect that the US may have more problems than creationism in its schools.

You have no idea..... US schools are, in my opinion, HORRIBLE. At least until you get to college level, but even then, you have to play catch up before getting on to the real substantial stuff.
I dropped out of High School at 16 because I had been bored to tears since fifth grade. I should have learned about four times what I did, but no one cared to teach anything above what would have been third grade level in some of the private schools some friends of mine attended.

I didn't think that the idea that Hitler was a Jew was widely-accepted among historians.
I'd like to know how accepted the idea is, actually. Any info?
