Hey, it isn't just SAT scores that prove that so many public school teachers are dimwits. Why else would they keep making the same mistakes again and again and why else would they have such disdain for knowledge? Why else would they keep on churning out generation after generation of poorly educated graduates who can barely read, write or count. They have nothing but contempt for the concept of teaching basic math skills, denigrating memorization as “drill and kill”. As per your definition, they are dimwits. Wouldn't the Dimwit Theory explain why American school children perform so poorly compared to other nations?

Do you think you can make your point without disparaging a whole group of professional people? No, I don't think you can, either.

It's possible to do so, of course, but I don't think you have the brains or the class to be able to do it. Never have I encountered someone so bullish to prove an idiotic, unprovable, classically-subjective statement as you. My hat's off to you, pal---you're one in a million.
