I have always thought it was funny that it’s nearly impossible to educate most young people but they all suddenly learn which cars are easiest to steal.
I mentioned the new invention once of a device that could cut off someone else’s cell phone in public. Every single student I mentioned it to said “I heard that is illegal.” THAT they learned.
But over 40% could not answer correctly which was first and second, the American Civil War (1st one) and World War II.
Most thought WWII was first. Make great criminals, though.
I have the ultimate theft protection device for todays generation…
A clutch pedal
They probably also thought that WWII came before WWI.
Seriously, ask them next time when was the War of 1812. You’ll get bewildered looks in response.
