Lets not forget that the school age kids in the US are obviously the most physicaly unfit in the world by a wide margin.

Who cares about education?

In most states 16 year olds with dicks who want to dress as girls can pee in the women's room.

Let's focus on the important issues here people!!!

Poor Math can work in your favor, I went to fast food for a salad and girl rang it up seeing the $20 for $10.39 charge and I gave her $20.50, she had already rang it up for just the $20, she was stumped as far as what to give me back, she went to get manager and left drawer wide open, manager in his 30s said to me what is problem and I said I waiting for my change, he looked at her then me and gave me back the $20 and said Thank You please come back. I said of course I will and tell my friends.

So true. The movie "The Sting" comes to mind.
It is terrible how stupid a large percentage of our young population is.
Can it be fixed?
Nope.

All true, sadly.

Kids today are NOT being prepared to "make their own way in the world".

Boggles the mind.... about what's going to become of younger generations after the makers of America have passed on. After all... the "makers" have paid for the snowflakes to become what they are. What happens to them when "somebody else" is not there to "pay their way"? OMG... they might have to PAY THEIR OWN WAY.... THE HORROR!

Then again... the Lefty government doesn't want kids to be "competitively prepared for the world"... they want them to be dependent upon government so they can be controlled and will vote for DemoCraps to keep them in power.

Makes we want to PUKE!

When I used to go to Japanese school on Saturdays, one day for only a few hours in math would far exceed the 5 days I spent at public school here in the U.S.
When my mom took me out of Japanese shcool due to divorce, I suddenly became "dumb" for an asian.

It's happened to me as well with the inability for most people to make change in their heads...Hint: it's because these kids learn math with a calculator...OTOH, it's a shit thing to do to take the meal for free, that comes out of her pocket.

And these things are correlated. Healthy brains require healthy bodies and without healthy brains you cannot appreciate math or science let alone be good at it.

That explains why Trump and his ilk love the poorly educated. So easy to take advantage of them, isn't it? Well, at least, Trump does not pretend to be much of a Christian. Only if he needs it. To impress the poorly educated, that is.
