In an engineering class they had to do a session on educating students how to use a ruler and a protractor. It turns out, many kids didn’t know what a protractor was or how to use the ruler correctly.

I remember that DC had lined notebook in math throughout the entire 10 grades.

I’m an immigrant and in Eastern Europe we learned how to use rulers in 1st grade and protractor in 4th grade.

American education is a joke.

Did you learn how to overthrow monstrous dictators? Seems like a more important skill to have for you. Rather than coming here, and putting down the country that accepted you.

+1. People like OP are all oh-so-brilliant but also passive sheep with no civic values and horrible interpersonal skills. Glad you’re here to work as engineers or whatever but no one actually likes you, OP!

Mail yourself back where you came from, lady.

Not knowing how to use a ruler in 10th grade is not just slightly “uneven instruction”.

Well, at least our kids are learning all about calling people by their proper pronouns.

The best engineers in America immigrants.

Well, to be fair, it ain’t Amaricans either.

I am from the Balkans and a Slav too, and I learned how to use both in the first grade. Perhaps try to be less negative, it is not good for your child.

Another Balkan person here and I agree with the PP. OP is the reason I stay away from so many of my people here in the US. The perpetual negativity really gets on my nerves.

American education is a joke and you used "LOL" in your thread title. Ok.

I was taught how to use a protractor back in the day, and I'm pretty sure that I haven't used one since I was in school. It's one of those things that you can figure out pretty quickly if you actually have a need to measure angles.

That’s why Eastern Europe has the best engineers and everyone wants to go there.

What is the meaning and significance of the bolded?

I don't find it surprising that a school with students from all over the state would discover some kids have uneven instruction in math. It reflects poor logic skills on your part that you believe your child's classroom is a perfect reflection of "American education." Or that you think that because you learned to use a protractor in elementary, your country if origin has a great education system.

But by all means, if you think education in this country is "a joke," pull your kid and educate them at home or elsewhere. I assume your child will not attend an American university? Since it's such a joke to you. You will send them to college back in your home country, yes? So they can get a proper education.

Maybe Eastern Europeans who are so brilliant should stay in Eastern Europe and help their poor countries strengthen their economies. Countries like Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova plus sure could use help.
