it really required some goal oriented students/families. They were looking at train and bus connections both ways, and if the student played sports or belonged to an after school club or the newspaper etc, they were probably leaving home by 5 AM and returning around 8 PM...then home work...

not this degree of difficulty for all, but many attended schools a good distance from their Boston neighborhoods.

American school kids became more stupid under the Obama administration, according to rankings released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

They recently released the results of a worldwide exam administered every three years to 15-year-olds in 72 countries. The exam monitors reading, math and science knowledge.

Based on their findings, the United States saw an 11-point drop in math scores and nearly flat levels for reading and science.

The Land of the Free, Home of the Brave, fell below the OECD average – and failed to crack the top ten in all three categories.

In other words, thanks to the Obama administration’s education policies, kids in the Slovac Republic are more proficient in multiplication.

In fairness, American teenagers may not know long form division - but by golly they know their non-binary gender pronouns. Yes sir, they do!

But you can't blame the kids for being dumb as rocks.

Instead of aspiring to greatness, public schools across the fruited plain are programming kids to be mediocre.

It doesn't matter if Little Johnny thinks five plus four is 12.

Modern-day classrooms are safe spaces where everybody’s a winner – everybody gets a gold star.

There's just one problem with that philosophy. When Little Johnny becomes Big Johnny he's going to be living off the taxpayer dime.

And good luck making change down at the Piggly Wiggly.

Film at 11.... 😟

In 2015, according to the OECD - PISA test data, the U.S. was slightly below the world (of countries tested, not every country participated) average in math, but slightly above average in science and reading and showed slight improvement in over-all scores from 2012...test results were about the same as the 2009 data, at the end of the Bush era...is that when America really got dumb???...the author of that article obviously has a subjective opinion about American kids' education.

Honestly, we should do better in all categories, especially in math...we were passed by several countries between 2009 and 2015.

Let's not forget Arizona and their SB 1070 that wanted to stop the flow of illegal immigration but 400,000 streamed across their state border regardless...

I can keep on going if you'd like...I mean since you've selectively forgotten how a Constitutional "lawyer" can radically transform America and all.

On my next "TRIP" down to Washington D.C....
I'm gonna stay at the MARRIOTT HOTEL across the street from the WILLARD HOTEL....

I'm gonna bring "3 different suits" with shinny
SPENSIVE hoofs and designer ties....
Then walk across the street at 5 pm and hit the
WILLARD HOTEL happy hour....

Once I spot Betsy Devos ...I'm gonna "pick her up"...
And have her "buns up kneeling" in a men's room stall
And rock her world...then I'll make her go rent a room at the WILLARD FRONT DESK with musted up hair and a partial load on her lapel....
Then order room service filet mignon, lobster tail, lump crab cakes and the best
Bottled IPA's they have...and hole up with her for at least 48 hours...@ the WILLARD...

She's gonna miss some work but I'll give her a
PHD IN a ...."TRIPLE 16/10 LOVE-a-thon" degree.
