One question, did they test the Nobel Peace Prize committee of 2009?
Here is your one question test: Does you thank that Obama is doin the great job as President of all 57 states?
By race
By cultural group
We are a mishmash.
Most others are not.
Homeschooling is illegal in every other country in the “survey”.
The intelligent are using contraception while the stupid are multiplying like rabbits.
US adults are not genetically dumb. This issue is really about the corrupt federal government taking over public schools using constitutionally nonexistant federal government powers, for the purpose of producing low-information voters.
Low information voters then vote for Democrats and RINOs who promise such voters constitutionally indefensible federal welfare.
The ones who voted for 0bama are the dumb ones.
Explains how Obama got elected.
Two thirds of Americans are mostly ignorant and some downright insane. Nothing new here.
The proof is sitting in the oval office.
I blame the poverty culture for much of that. Plenty of kids, especially minority, are taught *not* to seek success. They're filled with propaganda meant to keep them in the lower class. These defeatist ideas permeate the poverty culture from all sides, making escaping that culture and mindset extremely difficult.
The United States will have a tough time catching up because money at the state and local level, a major source of education funding, has been slashed in recent years, said Jacob Kirkegaard, an economist with the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
Education performance has little correlation to money spent. Schools do not need to have the latest in computers in most classes, nor do they need huge money wasting bureaucracies. In fact, in many basic skills classes, I would say that computers hinder education. For instance, how is a kid supposed to learn how to set up and solve math problems on a computer?
President obama
Case closed.
A hearty, big Thank You to the NEA and everyone of it’s members and leadership for this accomplishment. I have to admit that when you set out to ruin education in thus country, you performed excellently. You have dumbed down our children to the point being able to read your diploma is no longer required to graduate. Well done you scum sucking, worthless excuses of humanity. May you enjoy your fat pensions and exempted Cadillac healthcare. I am getting my pitchfork and torch ready now that I’ve got the tar and feathers setup. Sleep well. Your slave masters from the Communist and Socialist parties are brimming with pride and your nonresistance and even vigorous support if God being banned in school, prayer being banned in school, not requiring nor explaining the Pledge of Allegiance, promoting rampant sexual promiscuity with your immoral sex education instead if abstinence, your diversity and multicultural teaching that any white person should be blamed for every problem know to man, and your willing blind allegiance to anyone who hates capitalism. Yes. Your masters and leaders are well pleased. Sleep well.
Yes, we are getting more and more illiterate. All you need to do is observe friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. My husband complained from the 80’s on about people in his office (all college grads) not being able to construct an English sentence on paper.
Nobody has bookcases in their homes. Nobody drops literary references in their daily conversation. No such thing as a “scholar” anymore. Good Heavens, preschools don’t even teach Mother Goose.
One more thing. If memory serves correctly, Thomas Dewey is credited with not just the Dewey Decimal System used in libraries but the foundation of the current educational system. I also seem to remember that he was a a Fabian socialist and Progressive. I also seem to remember he was a pacifist and a favorite of the Wilson administration. I am open to correction on these recollections. It has been years, no decades since I read about him and it may be two different Thomas Dewey. It seems to me that if we started with such a demonstrably flawed philosophy promoted by a man deeply motivated by that philosophy, we should not be surprised by it’s failure to nourish the Freedom and Liberty provided for by our Constitution since such notions are anathema to all other political philosophy.
That’s our Exceptionalism nowadays!
But hey, we are the most politically correct! In fact, we’ve invented political correctness as well as the mortal sin of RASSISSM!
No argament heer.
Instead of spending resources on these tests they should have just examined the results of our last two presidential elections. Same conclusions!
But boy, do we know who won the last American Idol!
Actually, I don’t need a study to tell me this. Just look at the last two presidential elections.
