That’s nothing. There are students who can’t tell you which came first, WW1 or WW2. They think it’s a trick question.

Because that's what we're paid for.

Bill lee pitched for the Red Sox. And Stan Lee was with Marvel. And Bruce Lee was always on the winning side. Bobby Lee played for the losing side.

Obama DID NOT sign an executive order regarding immigration. Instead, he “taking executive action”. I’m not sure which is more illegal in this case.

But I bet that student knew all about the scandals of the Kardashians, the Football stats, all about the rock stars and music—History isn’t important and was never taught. My students knew more about the Organization of the Kingon Empire than they did of the US Government—But that was some time ago.

This isn’t just lack of knowledge, it’s total lack of any ability to think something through.

Mission accomplished for the ed establishment - how else can they get anyone to accept their counterintuitive ideas?

Comes now Common Core to render the coup-de-grace to government school “education”.
