Monte1076 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Interviewer: "How many states are there?" Girl: "I don't know." Interviewer: "How many states are there?" Girl: "50". Interviewer: "What's the Capitol?" Girl: "Is there a capitol in the US?" Interviewer: "How many eggs make up one dozen?" Girl: "Ten." Interviewer: "How long is one decade?" Guy (in graduation cap and gown): "I have no idea." Interviewer: "Do you know what 3 x 3 x 3 is?" Respondent: giggles/"Can I think about it?" Interviewer: "What year was the U.S. founded?" Respondent: "I don't know. 1901?" Interviewer: "When was the US Founded?" Respondent: "I don't know. 1472?" Sad thing is, I can GUARANTEE you that my homeschooled son can answer every one of those questions correctly. And another sad, sad example: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trashyhound Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Cmon man, if we would just give the government schools just a few more dollars those kids would know those answers too! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wonder how many adults my age (and I'm in my mid 40's) could answer those questions, as well. If you halfway pay attention, the answers are EASY. It's not like the people in those videos are being asked about Quantum Mechanics or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I actually felt like a genius compared to these knuckleheads that could not answer questions that I feel any American HS graduate should be able to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osup116 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Would like for Kids in Texas to answer these questions. Probably is not true but I an trying to believe it is because these kids are from New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyZuco Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I can promise you, that any student that has been in my classroom can answer all of the state and capitol questions. Those graduating last Friday remind me of it every time they see me in the halls, grocery store, or out eating. As far as the answer to a dozen--that should be their science teacher, not their history teacher. And of course all of my students know how long a "score" is also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A score is 20 years, if I'm not mistaken. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct my friend, therefore the most famous use of the word, "4 scores and 7 years ago" would be 87 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
