You can add Delaware to that map as well.
Maybe we should have let them keep it.

Andy Kryza was offered the chance to relocate with his wife and young daughter..
The family, who had idealized Scandinavia
...
An American dad who moved to Sweden with his wife and young daughter has revealed the staggering differences in the school systems which ultimately forced the family back to the US.
Andy Kryza, from Los Angeles, said that he 'felt like he had won the lottery' after being offered the chance to relocate with his wife and young daughter.
The family had idealized Scandinavia, believing that Sweden was 'a utopia with happy people, gorgeous nature, and world-class schools.'
But he has since candidly laid bare that 'the grass wasn't necessarily greener' after making the move in 2021 - only to return two years later.
...
the pace of learning turned out to be a shock.
'We soon learned that in the early years of school, teachers mostly prioritized socialization and play,' ..
'We worried that our daughter would regress and forget the core math and science she had excelled with but assumed things would progress in year two. They didn't.'
...
Unexpectedly, our daughter began complaining about a lack of challenges.'
Andy mused that the pace was likely due to the teachers' policy of not letting kids fall behind as they 'paused advancement to ensure everybody was on the same page.'
He branded it as 'admirably progressive' but by eight years old he said his daughter 'couldn't do simple division and once asked us what science was.'
'When addressing our concerns with teachers, we were met with a cold: "This is how we do things here."
'Eventually, we had to decide whether to trust the Swedish system or move back to the US. We chose the latter to avoid letting her get too far behind.'

It is a valid statement with respect to the term Algebra which was derived from an Arabic word. The Muslims carried a lot of the world’s reasoning while the Christian world was going through the Dark Ages. But I believe keeping things from being lost is much different from increasing the world’s store of knowledge.
STATE education
Hm?...Erma Brombeck?
Just stay out of Oregon. Very recently the brainiacs in Oregon announced they would no longer require the High School Exit Exam. Diplomas will be handed out for.............???
Erma Bombeck.
“The family had idealized Scandinavia, believing that Sweden was ‘a utopia with happy people, gorgeous nature, and world-class schools.’”
That was true, but then they let women vote.
He was well socialized though. Socialized as in SOCIALISM. He also was not honest which is what got him fired even after I'd given him more slack than he deserved. I told him to wash the truck and the tractors, gave him all afternoon to do it. Asked him if he washed the top of the cabs. He said he did but he didn't. He had been warned of the three things I will not tolerate; A liar, a thief or anyone who tolerates either of these. I hope he learned a lesson.
Sad but true. To argue would be folly.
Is this to accommodate the dumb, low IQ Muslims they import from Africa?
That is just nonsense. Yes, they gave us algebra, but nothing else.
And at 13 are the mandatory rape sessions with muslim invaders.
What was really funny is that he didn’t expect an old f—t like me to climb up there and look. I did of course. His time was up and so I figured since I needed to fire him I might as well make a lesson of it if I could.
Watch the film series Lillehammer..deals with some of these issues..highly recommended
“this is how we do things here”
Huh. They tell me that when I call them out on their indoctrination 🐂 💩 here.
I always thought it was greener because of the use of massive amounts of Bull droppings.
“Erma Bombeck”
Wow, I haven’t heard that name in ages...maybe decades. As I recall, she was really funny.
But ya beat me to it.
Those they’ll put in a uniform and call them police officers.
Any body who has ever had one knew exactly what you meant.
As we get older our fingers get fatter (or stupider)?
