How can you not watch it?

BFL
Such idiots.

These things can be interesting/entertaining, but we don’t know how many people he interviewed who actually gave sensible answers. How many people did he have to interview to find a few goofballs?
Had to stop watching as well.
We are doomed..

All those “Charter Schools” and other “gifted” schools suck. They are money machines, that is all.
The schools give ‘A’ grades to everyone. Why? Because parents often spend $10,000 or more per year and they damned well better have a gifted kid as a result. The kid is actually still a moron, but they get the grades needed to say they are gifted so the parents keep spending the money.
I’m a retired mass media professor. In my Media and Society class, I used to start off every semester with a quiz like this, but I’d also include pop culture questions. Every semester it was the same result: Students scored highly on pop culture (How many Spice Girls are there? What company’s slogan is “Just Do It?” etc.).
However, on basic governmental and history questions, only about 25-30% could provide correct answers:
What country attacked Pearl Harbor?
Where is Pearl Harbor?
How many Senators does each state have?
Who is the current Vice President?
Who is our governor?
How many stars are on the US flag?
This was a 300-level gen-ed class filled with mostly juniors and seniors from a variety of majors.
