Compare our current students against Chinese or any Asian country. Compare ours with Europe. American kids are the bottom of the barrel. |
And yet 75% of stuff in your house and in your body is made in that awful country. In fact, the device you used to post this drivel probably came from there too. |
You can’t be creative without technical competence. Drill the basics first, then you can innovate. |
Maybe more weed and abortion will fix us. |

Real education hurts some peoples feelings
Feelings come first until the printed dollar loses clout. Real education will return as hardship ratchets up. |
Made there, but not invented there… |
Why aren't they smart enough to figure out how to post properly? |
Second to market makes the most money. |
OMG the Chinese crushes us in so many subjects - engineering, education, infrastructure, transportation, technology. The US is really good at sales. That's pretty much it. I don't even know that we are awesome at inventing any more. We may have a hand in inventing things but def as a partner with other scientists based in foreign lands. Even if American, odds are it's an immigrant or 2nd generation American. But what kind of inventions are you talking about - cause the Chinese invented gun powder, the compass, paper, printing... not sucking in inventions! |
Well I was talking about the last century, but you want to keep wanking off to the majesty of China’s many millennia of culture, so go off queen! |
So true. And shameful. |
Do you know who crushes the Chinese in engineering and math? Asian-Americans. God bless them. |
Ethnic Chinese in America outscore ethnic Chinese in China. Whites in America outscore whites in Europe. Sounds like it isn’t American education that is the problem. |
Paper? Lol, the Chinese haven’t invented a single invention in 1,000 years. They’re good at rote memorization and practice, but they completely lack in creativity. Who cares if the average Chinese kid is smarter than the average American one. That’s irrelevant for a society. We don’t need a populace of above average people, we need a few geniuses to make inventions, and revolutionize our lives. Something about our culture allows those few to flourish, whereas the Chinese one does not. |
