first of all, the top 68% are all within 20 points. but i didnt come here to say that. i came here to comment on the public school system, which i have a feeling is the IQ culprit here.

i have an 11 year old daughter who we have had in a little private school for the past 3 years. this year, we decided to put her in a public school to save money. she has been there a week, and we are pulling her out and putting her back int he private school. Why?

because she has been bringing home the math papers they have been working on, and i for one was motherfucking shocked. she’s in the 5th grade.

anyways, friday’s math hour was spent with the whole class working on a 10 question worksheet. my girl tells me that most of the class was having trouble with it. here are some of the ‘problems’ my FIFTH GRADER had to work out:
(if no one believes me, i will scan it and post it)

1. the first problem was some ‘review’ equations : 3+8=? 4/1=? there were a couple of other equally 1st grade equations

2. what is the number that comes after 99? (i shit you not this was a question)

3. there was a fraction question with a rectangle that had 1/2 shaded, then below it, the rectangle was divided into fourths, with the same 1/2 of the rectangle shaded, to show how 2/4 simplifies to 1/2

there were several others, but you get the gist. i cannot beleive some of the kids were having problems with it, or even that 5th graders would be asked shit like this.

needless to say, jordan has today off while we enroll her back in her regular school…

my point is that apparently the public school kids nowadays are dumb as fuck.

also, i live in oklahoma, so maybe that has something to do with it.
