Grouse Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 This is what our current public education system puts out. When asked what the greatest threat to our country is, my answer is now, "Stupid People!" These people will vote, and they will vote the way they are told to by evil people.

Gobbler Chaser Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 You know what's even more amazing is that people buy into the rubbish that knuckle head in the video is spewing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Really? Go and ask a few people yourself. You will find college graduates that do not know a lot of what was being asked. I've seen many videos of these "man on the street" interviews. It's done so much because it's so easy to do. Do you know who that "knuckle head" is and anything about him?

airedale Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 These type videos go back years, they were popular on the Tonight Show when Jay Leno was there, he asked the same type of questions and got answers much the same as the above. They are all over the place now and it does not make any difference who is doing them the results are pretty much the same and young people seem to be getting dumbed down even further.

crappyice Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Do you think those things were not taught or not learned?Do you think the parents of those interviewees put a priority on their children's education?Do you think if those kids held back the educational system would be applauded or called racist?Kids these days!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 An educational system that promotes and graduates people that stupid, is not doing society any favors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyice Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 An educational system that promotes and graduates people that stupid, is not doing society any favors.Not disagreeing but do you think this society cares or is smart enough to realize what the educational system is trying to do?Chicken or the egg debateSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Not sure what you believe the system is trying to do. But many people are not happy with what it is trying to do. The people who care and are concerned, are being attacked for caring and being concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airedale Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 In 23 Baltimore City Schools, zero students tested proficient in math in 2022, according to a report by Project Baltimore. Through an analysis of 150 Baltimore City Schools, 23 of them, including 10 high schools, eight elementary schools, three high schools and two middle schools, no students met math grade-level expectations, according to a report by Project Baltimore. Approximately 2,000 students took the state administered math exams that tested proficiency levels.

The ones I have had the best responses with are the rubber bulb type that mimics a gray squirrel's alarm call. Sometimes they respond by answering back and even moving toward me, other times they pay zero attention so go figure.

Grouse Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Regardless of the original intent of this country, millions of people are clamoring for socialism because they can't afford the basic necessities of life. Government claims that they can solve the problem that they created. And people believe it because they were educated by government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
