This ignorance is the result of many things. Cultural decline, the acceptance of mediocrity in favor of 'feelings',political influence to lower standards, lack of parenting,lowering of standards and PC for teachers and-I think-genetics. Generations of low intelligence breed low intelligence students. I firmly believe that many are UNteachable. Einstein couldn't teach them and, what's worse, those kids don't value or want to learn. How else to explain kids from third world countries(primarily Asian) whose disadvantages do not prevent their excelling?

I pity anyone trying to teach today.

“...and-I think-genetics.”

Shhhhhhhh, that’s an uncomfortable truth that shall not be spoken (unless it’s about a inbreeding southerners, natch).
