I once read about a British and an American General having an argument about past wars. Every time the American General mentioned a Country they had fought against, the British General said, "Yes, but we had beaten them before you had". Exasperated, the American General asked, "What about the War of Independence, we beat you then, didn't we"? After a short pause, The British General said, "Yes, but you were British then"!

No offence bro, but what do you teach these kids? And how do you test whether they understood any of it? And what do you do if they clearly don't?

[@ACE-p7b]

Some of his questions are sort of trick questions because of the wording. "What (btw., shouldn't that be "which" and not "what") 2 countries border the USA?" There are more than 2 countries that border the USA. He probably meant which 2 countries have landlocked borders. "Which continent are we standing on?" That depends. If you say there are 7 continents, they would be standing on the North American continent. As this is supposed to be basic knowledge questions, this would probably be the most common answer, but there are other ways of dividing the world into continents. For instance one of those ways only divides the world in 5 continents and that would make them be standing on the continent named the Americas. He didn't specify which model he was using. There are other ways of dividing than these 2 but I forgot them. While not a trick question per se, it, like a few other of his questions, could use some clarification. My favorite questions of his are: "What is the capital of Chicago." My immediate answer: US dollars and cents. "What state is Utah in?" My answer: A mormon state (of mind). Which question is your favorite?

So they would stop you only for a commited infraction,not just to chat with you about the registration number. That's not efficient for a cop,instead of dealing with the criminality,to waist his time interrogating random drivers.

Hi guys, I need to tell you that Dr Phil covered US Education on an entire show, and discovered that Elementary school students are being promoted to the next grade whether they pass or not, because they don’t have room to teach both the outgoing and the incoming classes, so they get pushed upwards to make room. Consequently 6th grade students have been tested for high school preparedness and found to be at third grade level of education! With nowhere else to put them, they advance into Junior High with third grade standards. Needless to say, from there on, they learn nothing because it’s all way over their heads. That’s why these teens can’t answer basic questions!

In Australia, when I was studying to be a Primary School teacher. They taught us ALL aspects of teaching, including Behavioural Psychology and Child Development both physically and mentally. We were taught how to apply behavioural psychology when engaging students to encourage good behaviours and boost their self-esteem, without creating conflicts. We also learned the basics all over again - arithmetic, English grammar and spelling, art, history, etc, so that we would refresh our minds about the level that these students would require. We also learned how to do student assessments and be able to teach them at their current level then step forward together as teacher and student. We learned how to test the children at various stages throughout the year, as well as writing reports. This on top of tall the documents the school required to maintain student records.

The channel runner, who was questioned about only picking such people to show on video - answered this in his comments once - he said, 2 out of 3 people are like this when asked - they just can't retain much of the older information over what is newer . . . Don't worry, there are similar people from every country in the world - just not as many of them I fear . . .

You remember the Al Murray sketch? Americans are all busy dreaming!

[@Mouse2222]

When the list of countries was going up the screen United Kingdom was listed, technically United Kingdom is not a country but a name given to a group of individual countries like the European Union is not a country but a group of countries.

Ohhh,it looks like you got a Master at MIT.....

[@andypandy9013]

My answer to "Who fought in the Civil War?": WHICH Civil War? Here in the UK we have had at least three in the last 1,000 years: The Anarchy (C12th). The Wars of The Roses (C15th). The English Civil Wars, aka The British Wars and The Wars of The Countries (C17th). Also there are Civil Wars currently in Syria, Myanmar and Sudan. I SOOOO wish that he could ask me that question. 🤣🤣🤣

As I understand it, he *used to* correct people with the right answer, but was confronted by these combative people who assumed he was lying to them because they believed they where right. So he stopped, and now he just agrees with them.

If it's any consolation, i'm pretty sure you'd get the same standard of response in parts of the UK as well.

I think a lot of editing went into this video with all the correct answers ending up on the cutting room floor 😂

[@grahamtravers4522]

The interviewer's deadpan looks at the camera are the funniest thing about this.

[@williammcdonald2392]

I subscribed because we need as many people with working brains on youtube as possible to offset gen-z. Scary that they were absent the 1st 12 years of their eduction. Education isn't blameless in this trajedy.

[@clairduffy60]

Tragedy.

[@BrianMac2601]

Just from your reaction while watching this to what you were saying after it I could write an essay lol.

[@skyjust828]

21:30 okay no corporal punished, but what about "the dunce cap? When I went to elementary school (1966-1973) teacher had a "dunce cap" if we acted up we had to sit on a stool (high no feet on the floor) face the kids & get ignored by teacher, it was IMBARRASING 😂

[@RichardHead23]

That is soooo sad and depressing ,,, I'm English and I got every answer correct ,,,,,, and yes of course he only shows the idiots ..... what education did these people get ,,, were they homeschooled by parents who were home schooled by parents who were home schooled by parents who didn't go to school ....

[@christopheb.6121]

I'm French leaving IN France, and my 15 years old son know what was the American Civil war, how many stars there's on the American flag, and the most important, Japanese is not the Idaho official language 😂.

[@linebrunelle1004]

an American woman admitted believing until her 40's the Alaska was close to Hawaii because she remembered the map at school showing a cut out of Alaska placed near Hawaii.

He used to correct them when he first started doing this, and then it became too much and he just opted for yes every time.

Of all things I was in a McDonalds in London today talking to the security guy and it got to where I'm from. Cork, Ireland. (he wants to be a musician, did he play anything, I played piano accordion in school but cannot play a note since). He says Roy Keane, a Man Utd footballer from the 90's turned commentator/ pundit is from there. I said I drove two of his Man Utd teammates home to Manchester from a London Airport in 96 and I only learned that from them then. So he asked that was before the internet so how would I have gotten home from there without navigation?

To your parent/teacher relationship point - the number of teachers that are genuinely dumbfounded that my wife and I back them and are there to support them is scary, Their defenses are usually up at first meeting and the first couple of times we need to speak to them about something (usually because of our child's learning difficulties not because of any problem with the teacher!). More importantly, we've learned by now that so much depends on the relationship between the teachers and the school administration. In the last school our daughter attended, the teachers were so demoralized by their administration that I saw teachers cry when we stood with them on an issue instead of fighting them or volunteereed some time. In our daughter's current school the teachers and administration are so good that many parents continue volunteering to help after their kids have graduated. They're an integral part of the community and the community wants to help, in a large part because the administration has built relationships and the teachers feel valued in their jobs. Her current school is considered a "poorer" school from its intake area (the school has a food pantry for the high number of kids who are food insecure), but the difference in the quality of education is night and day, and we see it in the behavior and respect given too.
