3rd grade worksheets

Ever since I discovered that the state mandated test declared I have ninth graders who read at a third grade level, I've given out very easy worksheets. I try to mix it up a bit more. At the beginning of my teaching career I was bringing in all sorts of difficult papers that no one could understand. But what I just witnessed was too much.

One question was "TRUE OR FALSE: Auschwitz is a very happy place." The answer circled was True.

Am I wasting my time doing this?
