US adults are dumber than the average human

I didn't need to read a study to know this is true.

WASHINGTON — It’s long been known that America’s school kids haven’t measured well compared with international peers. Now, there’s a new twist: Adults don’t either.

In math, reading and problem-solving using technology – all skills considered critical for global competitiveness and economic strength – American adults scored below the international average on a global test, according to results released Tuesday.

Adults in Japan, Canada, Australia, Finland and multiple other countries scored significantly higher than the United States in all three areas on the test. Beyond basic reading and math, respondents were tested on activities such as calculating mileage reimbursement due to a salesman, sorting email and comparing food expiration dates on grocery store tags.

Not only did Americans score poorly compared to many international competitors, the findings reinforced just how large the gap is between the nation’s high- and low-skilled workers and how hard it is to move ahead when your parents haven’t.

In both reading and math, for example, those with college-educated parents did better than those whose parents did not complete high school.

Oh, irony of ironies.

How many grammatical, semantic, and logical errors are stuffed into the short phrase, "US adults are dumber than the average human"?

The proof of the pudding is in the tasting.

Only Republicans.

 

[Freemason9]

This is how you maintain a nation of wage slaves with no fear of a revolt. Republican corporatists have attacked education for years for this very reason.

Let's take a closer look. There is one party that has fought valiantly for decades to ENSURE that no teacher is ever fired for incompetence. Indeed, that no teacher is ever evaluated on RESULTS.

And this campaign has been 100% successful.

There is one party that has FOUGHT to ensure that STUDENTS are absolutely protected from corporal punishment, the stigmatism of being stupid or "learning disabled," thus placing those students in with everyone else. This is the party that wants students and their parents (if the father can be located) to have lawyers present when visiting a school counselor, the party that wants EVERYBODY to be able to sign up for "honors" courses, and whatnot.

But that party wants us to think they bear no responsibility for the decline of educational outcomes.

Republicans aren't the ones running the education system, dumb ass. It's overwhelmingly represented by Democrats at every level, of course, this actually isn't a partisan issue. You just don't have to the capacity to comment on it intelligently.

And it is overwhelmingly underfunded and consequently discredited, thanks to constant pressure from the right wing since the Reagan regime.

One of the primary targets of the modern Republican right wing is education.

Have you been reading quotes from Michelle Bachmann? If so, I could see how you'd get that impression.

Hmmm, dumber than the modern world countries or world overall?

Just think how badly idiots like Shitshisspeedos, Asclepias, Tank, Matthew, Friends, 52nd Street, Bitchboy, Poet, Prometheusbitch, et. al. have skewed our average. Any one of those idiots is bad enough to bring it down a few points on their own.

Very good point.
