However Dumb You Think Gen Z Americans Are, They’re Dumber Than That

As a teacher, I would refuse to calculate the students percentage score on tests for them.

They would get actually angry but I explained that, since it was a number they concerned them, they would figure it out.

BTW: I taught High School Science and Math!

Gen Z is the most educated generation in American history and also the dumbest.

Here we go again, letting keyboard warriors think for us.

Today's kids are bashed and slandered and considered slackers. Just like the Boomers and GenXers were drugged out hippies and depressed flannel-wearers, resp.

Yet we turned out ok (generally). And so will these kids.

And if you ACTUALLY TALK TO KIDS instead of let the MSM form your opinion, you'll find that they're pretty driven (almost at an obsessed level). Yes, there are pod-eaters, but they aren't representative of the entire lot. We homeschooled so our sample of kids may be biased, but even as an Asst Scoutmaster the unhomeschooled boys weren't messed up.

Bluntly, I've noticed that Defeatism is gaining the majority vote amongst conservatives. For a group of people who trash the trans movement, the irony is that some conservatives seem to have completed their transition to Johnny Fontane.

The choice is clear: don't fall for the Eeyores, show kids (and elders) that the future isn't dark and success is within grasp, don't let the enemies mentally choke us out, and use our talents and not bury them in the dirt.

In April, a brand new home across the street from us was sold — building was just being completed. The couple just graduated from college and they moved in last month. The wife’s mommy and daddy bought it for them.

They came here expecting to get jobs at some company which they learned isn’t even here any more. So they don’t work — yet.

They’re retarded and never have been taught how to live as adults. On trash day, instead of getting a bin from the company, they throw the trash on the curb. The true garbage is thrown in a box and not in plastic bags. It gets turned over so garbage is in the street.

They leave for many days in a row and don’t arrange for mail and packages to be picked up, so it stacks up on the porch.

Someone who knows them said they expect us to be happy that they’re here, for us neighbors to do stuff (fix things, etc.) for them.

[Red Badger]

We have neighbors like that. They are from ‘South of the Border’...........😉

The problem is, these kids are from privileged families. They graduated from John MacArthur’s school — The Master’s College.

I totally blame the parents. WTF were they thinking coddling their children this way?

A few days ago, I was picking up a take-out order at our favorite Italian Restaurant.

The bill was $36.11 and I gave the cashier $40.00, (2 $20s)
She gave me $16.11 in change. I told her that she gave me too much money. She said, “No.” Then I asked her to “redo you math.” She then gave me the correct change.
I waited a few moments for a “thank you,” and when it didn’t come, I said, “you are welcome!” She stammered an “I thank you.”
I hate to think that she was that careless and how much money it might cost to employ her.

Narcotics...including the narcotic of social media.

Very good post!

[Sequoyah101]

These things are just not important to them.

They remember what they want to. Not important to them because it was not important enought to teach and understand.

[Fiji Hill]

Not my kids. They’s homeschooled!

At the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, where I'm a docent, I was taking a father and his son through a gallery when the boy, who was about 9 or 10 began comparing the Vietnam War to the Hundred Years War. I asked him were he went to school, and he said he was homeschooled. It's not likely that any public school pupil would have been taught about either war today.

“teachers” are generally an incredibly selfish group of underachievers.

-That has been my experience as well. I also observe the ‘wow is me’, ‘I’m so underfunded, overworked’ routine.

My first experience with homeschooling was working on Pat Toomey’s congressional campaign (when he was one of us). The kids manning the phones next to me were extremely articulate. And I asked how old they were, one was like 14!

I went to primary school through the fourth grade in a Calvert System private school in İstanbul I got more more Amerıcan and world hıstory there then I got ın school after we came back to the USA. And that was in the fifties when American schools were oriented toward the three Rs and real academic subjects.

someone had once posted a video of Donahue from the 1980s and he was sitting down with Ayn Rand. The audience was quite versed in Ayn Rand's system of beliefs, and asked her intelligent questions, even if they disagreed. THAT America is long gone.

I read approximately 5 hours a day, every day for the last 20 years. All history and current events. Fiction cannot even touch reality, which I read from age 4 to 44 app. I cannot get interested in fictional tales, they are mostly the same.

Idiocracy is as prescient as HG Wells, and more so than Nostradumbass.

[Glad2bnuts]

The problem with being bright enough to absorb modern day trivia, is it fills their minds leaving very little room for later on.

[Glad2bnuts]

Nice theory, and probably true.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

They are not morons.

Ignorant, yes. But not incapable of learning.

The most successful HS basketball coach I knew, got every Varsity member a job at grocery stores. The JV guys too if there was room. He kicked off the troublemakers, anyone with a GPA under 3.0. If it was a really good player, he would demote them to the JV until their grades came up. I miss the 60’s and 70’s.
