Teaching adults how to carry in addition or the concept of a variable. High school students that don’t have their times tables. Education is a fundamental human right. The Right has been working to strip it in the US since Brown v Board of Ed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 10 points 4 months ago (1 child) My partner is finally going to college after graduating high school twenty years ago. They were the only one in a college composition class that knew what a thesis statement was. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Angrydeuce@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago I was in the same boat myself about 15 years ago, and it was bad even then, I cant even imagine how it is now. You know how we used to have to memorize phone numbers but then smartphones came around and now nobody can recall more than a handful from memory? I'm no better, I can recall my wife's, moms, dads, and work, but I couldn't tell you any other relevant number to save my life today. Now take that paradigm and apply it to general thought. What happens when all our thinking gets reduced to queries and does not grow beyond that? permalink fedilink source parent [–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago Im sure they will know the name of every Kardashian. permalink fedilink source parent
