One question, did they test the Nobel Peace Prize committee of 2009?
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Well, duh! Most US adults are products of the US public education system.
Feminism is largely responsible for this outcome.
America has traded reproduction for immigration, and professional careers for the family.
Where did they give the test? Rat headquarters?
Half the people in the country are below average in intelligence - most act like typical ninth graders - and all can vote.....
Unfortunately, I believe it. I’ve seen it in my own family. When I visit during holidays, I’m usually told how ‘great’ my 10 year old nephew is doing in school. “He’s made the Honor Roll AGAIN!”. That’s all well and good, it if really meant something. I can ask him anything and he usually doesn’t even know enough to guess at the answer. Some honor roll, I guess everybody gets A’s in some schools, making the whole system a worthless joke. There are going to be some bitter high school grads in the future when they realize how ignorant they are. Not all, but way too many.
My wife just received a performance review from a mid-level manager in a very well known company. The review contained 4 misspelled words, and contained sentence grammar that would have been an embarrassment to my 6th grade grandson (that, only because he is homeschooled). One sentence stated she made “to (sic) many errors...at blah blah blah” (my wife hasn’t made an error in the 42 years we have been married, but that is beside the point). All of the “replace this text” lines in the review form were appended, not replaced. This review was read and signed by at least two higher level managers. I don’t know about this particular manager, but most managers at that level are college educated. I am guessing this manager might be pissed, but I doubt the least bit embarrassed by this if this were brought to her attention.
Demographic bump!
America didn't get great because we were geniuses. It was freedom that made us great, because freedom made it possible for even dumb people to succeed (because they got to keep the fruit of their efforts).
I think we have a higher percentage of moocher low information voters.
