Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?

This game show, hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, pits contestants against a "panel" of 10 year olds.
Has anyone else seen this show?

I just cannot get over how some of the contestants (adults) become brain dead on some of the simplest questions.
But as my wife pointed out to me, the kids remember more info because it is "fresh" in their minds, whereas the adults more than likely had forgotten the information because it's been 10+ years since they had learned it. (And haven't used the info since)

I believe that this show will not last long, although I like Jeff Foxworthy.

If people get the answers wrong, then wouldn't that mean that all the crap they're teaching the fifth graders ISTN used in life after school?
