So in 100 years we're all considered [BLEEP]. That's useful information.
For example, the Wright brothers... Idiots
The ancient Sumerians... Today's equivalent would be an entire nation of people with Down syndrome
The Apollo space missions... Could be accomplished today with 3rd graders. Fascinating

This post pretty much drops a torpedo full of poop on DragonFury's comment.

What do you know, we have two examples refuting DF's assertion right here.
Quote:The Donald loves the uneducated.
Actually, this isn't quite what he said.
Donald said he "loves the
poorly educated."
And, apparently, they love him too.
Quote:As a teacher I can say that my class requirements are significantly greater than when I started a decade ago and a whole heck of a lot more stringent than when I graduated a few decades ago. Also, math class expectations are a lot higher too. Heck, when I graduated from high school we didn't even have accountability tests to prove we knew the material. It was all up to the teacher whether you got credit. Kids today are at least taking tests to prove whether they known something about the material.
First of all, thank you for your service.
I have a pretty good memory, and key me tell you, my 7 year old daughter and her 1st grade class are writing and reading. When I was in first grade, I was still learning the abc's, and how to write them.
My daughter is writing whole paragraphs about bats. She's reading books that I wouldn't have started reading until 3rd grade.
So yeah, I think it's clear that kids are being pushed and standards have increased over the last 20 or 30 years
