I’m actually slightly higher than 99th (prolly like 99.2 or something) but thank you for the concession (your sarcasm notwithstanding).B.See » 08 Mar 2022, 1:07 am » wrote: ↑ In other words, you were TOO LAZY to look it up so Mr. "99th percentile" chose to ASSume. But I won't chastise you for this minor infraction.
They aren't idiotic because just as some of those reich wingers believe in their "FREEDOM" to white wash history (and yeah, I spelled it that way, DELIBERATELY) PARENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT RISKS TO THEIR CHILDREN'S HEALTH, and the right to mitigate the risks as best they CAN.
And THAT ATTITUDE is exactly WHY teachers are underpaid and under attack from people like YOU. If Mr. 99th percentile EDUCATED HIMSELF instead of lecturing ME, you'd find that in countries where teachers and teaching are respected, and education valued, STUDENT SCORES EXCEL.
I did not mention the other reason I didn’t bother looking it up, which is this: even if I did, I am fully aware your type (steeped in confirmation bias and Dunning Kruger) would either ignore the rebuttal or go into denial mode by making up some BS to deflect. Naturally I would not waste my time educating someone like that since I have dealt with your type countless times - the outcome is highly predictable.
The dumbing down of education is pretty obvious when you look at the content taught back in the day e.g. 1895. The SAT (the holy grail of standardized tests in America) back in 1970 was so difficult that a score in the 1300s would be eligible for entrance into the lower Ivys (whereas today scoring a 760-800 on 1 section is trivial). But of course you either were completely ignorant of this or made up some fiction in your head to avoid acknowledging this.
Children can wear masks in schools. If a parent believes their child is at risk they are free to tell or instruct them to wear one. The protests were against mandates. You also failed to address the fact children are at minimal risk from “Covid-19” so I’ll take a victory there, TY very much.
Education is valued in countries like Japan because
1) Japanese people (of NE Asian heritage) are much smarter than your breed of Mestizos, ******, and other sub 100 IQ groups so they don’t need to dumb down the curricula
2) If a child fails or does poorly in school, parents will take responsibility and try to help them catch up instead of doing what parents do here - crash PTA meetings or “demand their child be allowed to retake a test” (quite common here in the states) or whatever
Better genetic pool + parents care more about education.
“My attitude” reflects the mediocrity of teachers. It does not cause (which you implied) the poor state of our public education. Please do not make up nonsense.

Average teacher salaries in the US are close to the top in almost every category
“Teachers are not being respected which is why American ejukayshun sux”
Yes, of course, hillbilly parents who don’t know any better and criticize the poor quality of education are why teachers suck. Lol
I will grant there are some very stupid parents but your claim is BS.
