They were mostly showing the kids who couldn't answer. Go to the channel. He shows you many kids who answered. There is another guy giving away a thousand dollars for correct answers at a college which this guy does most of his videos. Many of them won the money. The truth is schools don't teach children simple things like how to tell time on a clock and how to sign a document in cursive. They only teach them to print their names. The reason I know the continents, presidents, countries, math, even reading is because I taught myself. The school system had are failed the kids here. I watch these videos all the time and I yell at the tv the correct answers😂 He does tells them they are wrong but mostly not at that moment. You need to watch more videos. Not just one. Stop saying Americans like you're judging an entire country. Like everyone does the same thing. They don't.

​@@marilynsummit1764 I agree, it's a cheap shot and is obviously not scientific. Clue's in his different clothes. There's a guy who does a more even-handed version at various universities in the USA. Atlanta is one, another is Harvard. Guess which one's students correctly answer the most questions. I'd like to see this particular guy actually put the effort in and go to other countries and ask similarly facile questions of similarly aged young adults and see how badly _they_ do. I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't do as cringingly badly and I think that Tyler's despair at the average American's lack of critical thinking would be borne out. But I also think that it would be a fair bet that they wouldn't fail so assertively as this lot has. Most of all, I'd want to shove the questioner's every "Yes" response so far down his smug throat that my fist came out the other end. Jus' sayin'.

Therefore, the USA has more than a generation of people who have indoctrinated to never remember anything except what they need to know immediately.

Seven years old, eh? - I've got one over you: back in December 1986, while driving with a friend, in a vehicle with a Quebec licence plate, along the main street of Texarkana, a convertible with 4-5 young people pulled up alongside to our car, alongside a red light and started shouting-up to us and asking questions - one of which was "where are you from?". I motioned to them to pull-off into a gas station parking lot. Once we parked and we got out to talk to them, one of these people of the group (of late-teens / early twenty-year-olds), asked "what state is that - I never heard of that state before?!'. I responded that Quebec is a province, not a state. This resulted in a somewhat quizzled and confused look, in the person asking the question. This prompted me to point-out that a 'province' is like a 'state', and that's what they are called 'up in Canada'. The young people were all very friendly and polite, nonetheless, they seemed to be 'somewhat confused' and bewildered at, possibly, their first encounter at seeing a Quebec licence plate in their town...

America used to be great, but its been overtaken by other countries and its all down to education. England has one of the best education systems in the world and its coming into its own now. You have to stop using the multi choice system and teach the children instead of just ticking boxes they actually have to show their working out the problem and how they arrived at their answer. It sounds awful, but start from day one, but God help us they taught my granddaughter BODMAS, now please help me, I tried to help her with her maths, but I just couldn't understand what BODMAS was about.

As a teacher of 26 years in public school I can say this is right on target. Do not blame your teachers. The product we are sent from home is lazy, disrespectful, and at times violent. We want your kids to prosper but we need your support as parents. Push them hard to work, read with them and to them, extol academic excellence. Make sure your kids behave and help them with their homework. We are in a system where the parents do not support the teacher and also the admin of schools is out to lunch. Everyone gets a blue ribbon and there is no work ethic. Look to East Asia as a model of a working system of education. Also pay your teachers a living wage. In East Asia it is merit based after middle school and you test into the high school and university of your ability level. Asian countries have some of the highest ranked students in the world.

I'm not a teacher but I do encourage my kids at home. I attend every opportunity the school gives to see how well my kids are doing and aim to help them where the school requests. It always shocks me that I see the same parents attending these opportunities given at school and the usual (and vast amount) of parents NOT attending. Then those parents who don't give a 🤬 blame the teachers saying "it's your job to teach my child" yet those kids are generally obnoxious, out of control, disruptive little monsters who get their mentality from their parents. Even a bad school can have kids leave with amazing grades if the kid wants to learn and is encouraged to do so at home. The teachers aren't there to sort out bad parenting and I feel sad for the effort they put in when it's fought against by parents and kids. Teachers deserve medals because they get paid peanuts, work very long hours (the misconceptions that they work school hours boggles my mind! The hours of lesson planning, marking work, teacher training etc isn't acknowledged by most) and have sooo much to deal with. All they want is to help our kids get somewhere in life!

They were looking to find how many I could answer correctly in the time given. A minimum quantity was required with an accuracy of 100%.

I just did a small check on spelling bee contests from 1999 to 2024 (in 2020 it was not held).

It was astounding to note that in these 25 years, there were 26 winners with Indian names (obviously most would be American Citizens, perhaps second generation or even third). That is primarily because most who migrate are coming from good institutions teaching professional programs and are looking for Masters and PhDs and they have a strong focus that their children should excel in their studies. This has been the focus in India for millennia.

As a Brit born and bred I could name all 50 states in the US, their state capital and identify that state on a list of state flags. Years ago I visited the US on holiday and toured some of the American civil war stuff. Long before I visited I had educated myself on the American civil war and that's what had initially piqued my interest in visiting some of the battlefields and museums. There was one incident of note. I was in a civil war museum in Georgia talking to one of the female curators. I was talking about some of the things I knew about the American civil war. Next thing the curator was in tears because, she said, I knew more about the American civil war than the vast majority of Americans. At the time I was in my early 20s. In contrast, a few years ago I had to explain to my middle aged American friends the difference between England, Britain and the UK. I admit I was a slow developer as a child, I left secondary school with no GCSE passes but only three years later I was at university. I have always said, it is not a crime being thick, it is only a crime to want to stay thick. You are never too old to learn something new and I have personally found that things like my dad spinning a world globe and pointing to random countries which we (myself and my two older sisters) had to name and TV documentaries on such as the History channel really educated me. I learnt much more outside the classroom than in it. Your mind just has to be open and willing to learn.

Watch George Carlin’s routine (KZbin clip) about education in America. He’s on point about it never changing, and the people in “control” (the real owners of the country) don’t want it to change. Sad but true. They’re happy with the so called class structure of society so long as they remain on top. Bravo to George for calling them out.

Yup. An ignorant populace is much easier to control than an informed one.

That's what American education is all about! Not surprising.

OMG, I'm more shocked than I even thought I would be. Either they are being failed by their educators, or they are not taught it. No wonder they elected who they did to run their country and the rest of the world laughed. I am so worried for you America.❤️👵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
