We’ve got to strip American universities of taxpayer dollars which they waste on ethnic and gender studies. People who pay for their own schooling or earn private scholarships are actually looking forward.
They are great at using their smart phones and trying out new apps, just watch them.
In my neighborhood my neighbors from India don’t have cable TV< they make their kids study and get good grades.
They moved to my neighborhood for the schools.
This is because all the jobs that would teach young people job skills and work habits have been taken by illegal aliens. And child labor laws prevent kids from working until they are old enough tho drink.
Really? with all this free education and college crap? Amazing, maybe it is because they have no guidance.
We’ve got to return to the days of the fifties when teaching kids.
I was going to take the test, but I can’t use foxfire at work. :( We just hired a bunch of young ones. I don’t know their skill level, but they all seem like very nice kids. So that’s something.
Reminds me of the FCC “Third Class Radiotelephone Operator’s License” test I passed in order to be a DJ at my college’s radio station. I figured that anyone who couldn’t pass it was probably too dumb to put their name at the top of the form.
Yeah, but at least they FEEL good about themselves and will expect they can always be taken care of by “someone”.
Seriously, just yesterday we were reading a ghost story in my lower-level 7th grade class, and the novel was set "three years after X character died." We find X character's tombstone with the dates 1869 -- 1884 on it. I say, "So, when is this novel set?"
One kid yells out "1869.".
I say, "No, that's when she was born."
Another kid yells out "1884."
I say, "Okay, that's when she died, and the novel is set three years later...?"
"1890! 1950! 1860!"
Finally one kid concentrates really hard (you can see him get really still, and his eyes start moving back and forth). "1887?"
By this time I'm just ill, and I'm holding up my fingers, counting, "Yes! Look, everyone, see? 1885, 86, 87! That's three!"
And they stare at my fingers with their mouths hanging open and their eyes dull and annoyed, like "what's your point, miss?"
Least educated and less intelligent Perfect little dimocrats
I guess that the logic problems I grew up loving, like “Who owns the zebra?”, are passe...
Being tech dependent doesn't mean you're tech savvy. And millenials are tech dependent.
I just did the sample test and THINK that I got them right (I couldn’t find a way of confirming this). I think the biggest problem is reading comprehension - the questions are not that difficult to answer once you figure out what they are asking.
I try to teach a few adult industrial education classes. I see clear evidence of each of the following with disturbing frequency. At the beginning of every class I have to spend an hour just showing / reminding most of the class how to follow equations and the order of add, subtract, multiply, divide and raising numbers to powers.
(including the ability to follow simple instructions)... word problems that require selection of variables and the correct formula to apply blow their minds.
They can make a computer simulator do a lot of stuff but usually don’t know or care what is happening in the background or have any sense of the rightness of the numbers... they just expect them to be correct because they are provided by a computer.... never mind that there may be serious data entry errors or conflicting data.
I wonder what kind of a cliff they will drive off of some day. I don’t want to be around for it.
Just took a quick look at the first few sample questions and if our kids can’t answer those questions we are so screwed!!

Did Obama produce this data and is going out to apologize for us again?
