Now translate it to humans. Those people did not accumulate a big knowledge base, at best they learned answers for a standardized test and have thrown those out afterwards. Their reasoning skill is also near non existent. That is something that some people have near naturally, and others need to train it. The last part would be even understanding the question... The results are as you can see. And Asmon is also able to see how some of the results were reached. Theoretically, you could make a lot of those people "smart".

To be fair, they’ve grown up in an era where hardly anyone even uses change anymore.

That or they just enter the amount and be done. My teenager talked about how the high school they go to has vending machines in the halls (they’ve been there for years), and so many of them come up asking why the machine doesn’t have an option for cards. He said he’s had to get stuff from the machine for friends because a number of them didn’t know how to count out the change or flatten the bills to put it in correctly. His teachers definitely went over it as I remember him going over it all in elementary and middle school with all the paperwork and taking change out at home and having him go over the problems, it’s just these kids don’t really have parents that do that or use it in their every day life anymore to get used to it to where it becomes muscle memory to see a quarter and immediately know 1/4 of a dollar that is 25 cents, a dime being 10 cents 1/10 of a dollar, nickels being 5 1/20, etc. One of the setbacks of our tech.

[@christopherbrooks6355]

[@altrag]

@@GothJesus > the goal should to be to make the average person smarter That's never been the goal for K12. The goal for K12 right from its inception was to make the average person more capable of following orders and working assembly lines. During the cold war we wanted scientists (primarily scientists capable of working on nuclear bombs) so STEM became a more important part of the curriculum but there was no significant reinvention of the education system for that - it's still primarily geared to following orders and working assembly lines. With the end of the cold war though, that need kind of dissipated. Right at the same time Reagan's economic policies were at their prime and what "we" wanted was now to move as much wealth as possible from the bottom to the top with vague promises that it would "trickle down" again. "We" now wanted people who wouldn't be able to understand that giving $100 to a rich person in the hopes that they'll "trickle" $50 back down is not a great deal for the average person. We still haven't reconstructed the school system. It's still geared to following orders and working assembly lines, but those "assembly lines" are now burger flippers and door greeters - the service industry - rather than actual manufacturing. Post-secondary is still geared toward learning of course. "We" went another direction there - just make it so expensive that the "bottom" can't afford access and will be left with nothing but their K12 and maybe a year or two of community college if they're really lucky. It's all about control. Damned near everything that's wrong in the world is at some level driven by people whose main goal is ensuring you stay in your place. The STEM-focused era was a bit of a break from the pattern - they needed people to actually be smart rather than only smart enough to follow orders, so we got a couple of generations capable enough to actually understand what's happening and put up a bit of a fight. They've been trying to stifle that ever since with policies like the classic "No Child Left Behind", but those smart people went ahead and invented the internet and now the newer generations have the ability to learn things that aren't being explicitly taught in classrooms. It's still to early to know how K12 will be adjusted to try and maintain control in the age of widely-accessible information. The whole "anti-woke" nonsense is likely part of it (not started for that purpose, but coopted by it as angry people are generally pretty easy to control - just give them a bogeyman to scapegoat and they'll do anything you tell them. The downside being that if you ever run out of bogeymen to give them, you will quickly become the bogeyman). We'll probably see schools try to train toward gig work as the new "assembly line" if they can figure out how to do that before the growing backlash against the poor worker treatment kills the concept. Gig work has proven to be a massive boon for companies with questionable morals (so... pretty much all of them over a certain size) but that damned internet keeps letting normal people know how bad the idea has become for normal people. But still too soon to know for sure.

[@TwoBs]

Exactly. Anyone who pays attention to this stuff and has kids in school will know that they absolutely _do_ go over this information. Seriously, go through your child’s schoolwork. You will see for yourself they go over counting change, fractions, angles, order of operations, punctuation, spelling, conjunctions, prepositions, their state’s history, their country’s history, world historical events, chemistry, biology, astronomy, etc. … I see it with my own son’s work for high school. Granted, we are in a rural area, but by large, schools do still go over a lot of stuff … and those who claim they don’t were among the ones who didn’t pay attention or believed the teachers should have been the ones to do it all for them. Teachers can only do so much. If the student isn’t going to pay attention, they can’t go out of their way to sit and speak to each and every student individually. It’s not going to be like pre-K for all of their school life where teachers help one individually one by one. They didn’t do it when I was in school in the 90s and early 00s, they’re not going to do it now … because it’s on the parents to keep up with their children when they’re in school and step in when they’re slacking with education. It’s on the parents to help them further understand something, and if the parents can’t do it … then get a tutor. Teachers can’t get tutors for students, that’s a parent thing, and parents get it when they’re involved with their child and their schoolwork. I remember a lot of kids I went to school with having to have tutors. The parents had to request it as the teachers could only do so much. They were going over the work, but the students didn’t want to follow. … way too many parents throw it all on teachers and then get mad at teachers when their child isn’t learning. You still have to work with your child outside of school, y’know … things revolving around education doesn’t begin and end with school. It has to extend at home with parental involvement if you want your child to do well. Many parents simply don’t want to anymore and will blame the system instead. Now, add in our modern tech that does everything for us now. Calculations, cards and smartphones managing money for us to where we don’t have to count out change, googling everything to get an answer as opposed to actually having to research it - there’s even websites now dedicated to having students post a screenshot of their problem and someone answering it for them … they don’t have to do anything themselves. We’ve taken convenience at the expense of common sense and intelligence. Pair it with parents not caring about their child’s education due to their own selfish outlooks on how they think the education process should be (ie: “it’s a teachers job to do that, not me”), a lot of these students are doomed from the start … and they grow into teens and young adults like we see in this video.

​@@TwoBs Truly. I agree with most of your points, except the question-answer sites which have their own advantages, and disadvantages which you obviously pointed out. It's all about the balance after all.

@@laxminarayanbhandari855 Yeah if parents aren't involved then you are basically leaving it up to chance whether or not your kid grows up ignorant.

Keep the encouragement and the support up for as long as that child is in education. Even if they leave to learn a trade and don't go to college, a basic high school education is worth so much.

@@saphojuicedI’m 17 years old can say in my opinion, the reason a lot of us don’t have hands on experience in everyday things is that schools have made them seem unimportant. There is such a high priority on going to college that trade schools are not really looked for. There is also the fact that a lot of people my age their parents do things for them so they never learn how to do things. I’ve had to teach people my age and older how to use a broom, change toilet paper, EMPTY A TRASH CAN. I feel like a preschool teacher teaching infants.

I do uber part time and was giving this drunk girl a ride home. At her apartment gate she tells me the gate code is the year our country was founded. So I put in 1776 and she goes "Wow you're smart, other drivers don't get it." I facepalmed.

the only one i would be able to give a lean on is "if you were born 10 years ago how old would you be today?" because that one is a trick question. most people _hear_ "my age minus 10 years" in their head when asked that question.

@@ZugzugZugzugson I dont know "born 10 years ago" tells me I'm 10 pretty straight forward. I see your point though, but to me its pretty cut and dry.

The dude who answered 6 pennies and 54 states was COOKING though. Truly an astonishing mind at work

[@ghostrazgriz1_blaze359]

The 52 states can slide a little as it's 50 states plus the territories of Guam and Puerto Rico. But that would be making the assumption these people know the US has non-contiguous territories... and that might be a bit too much leeway. We know what happens when you assume...

[@norunaround1624]

@@ghostrazgriz1_blaze359 I wouldn't let 52 slide either. We have only 50 states, with a District of Columbia, and 16 territories. If you mean to include Guam and Puerto Rico you would have to include U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands of which in all four territories people are born with US Citizenship.
