In 1975-76 I was a music teacher in a very small school. One of my students took a liking to me and ask me to teach him how to play guitar.. He was not a very bright kid but I took on this challenge When the other teachers heard about this they laughed and said can't even read. I asked how diid he get to 7th grade and they said oh we just pass them thru to get a them out of here. I still took on the challenge and you know what, he learned to play guitar nothing fancy but he could play and was thrilled. All he needed was for someone to show some interests in him and teach him
Gen-Z are completely & utterly lost beyond relief. Just listening to the answers has got the whole nation questioning themselves day in & day out.
and every freaking poll about them seems to have been wrong we taught them how to be helpless and are rapidly becoming an evolutionary dead end.
To be fair I'm gen x and there were dumbasses in my school who'd get this wrong.
@@atticusherodes6648 Yep, we taught them to be helpless imbeciles because when we didn't cave to the TV talk show hosts, the child psychologists, the authors on books about how to raise kids and give them everything they want, the progressive world said "BAD PARENTS!!! CALL THE SOCIAL WORKERS AND POLICE!!" It turns out that social workers and police can't raise kids either. I saw this day coming back in the 1970s.
Maybe they need more safe spaces or participation trophies........... I can remember when all this bullshit started I worked at a child development center after high-school we had to go to training and further education seminars. I went to one and they were talking about how to "discipline" the children and there was a new policy that we weren't allowed to use any negative words like ( don't, stop, no, not, can't, etc.) I came home and told my husband that we were going to have a bunch of assholes who feel like they can't be wrong ever running around but they will be adults and here we are. We are in serious trouble.
Gen X
Gen Z have grown up with technology and everything on tap. I've talked to a lot of kids about things that happened 20 years ago, the greatest athletes, crt computer monitors, floppy disks, music etc. and they treat stuff that happened not that long ago as ancient and not worth bothering to learn about. When we were growing up we saw incremental improvements in things, had computers too, cell phones became a thing but we appreciated all of this stuff and still had a lot of respect for where we came from and everything that had contributed to where we were as the human race. All of our grandfathers fought world wars and we understood sacrifice and how it could easily be us next with the cold war. All of this meant that it was still important to know things. All the kids now think there is no value in knowing any of this "cave man" stuff and they just take it for granted that they have everything they're interested in on tap via their phones and the internet. Another thing that has changed is that most households only had one or two tvs, so you tended to sit around more as a family and watch stuff like current affairs or movies about historical stuff and talk about it with your mum and dad, who would then pass on some additional wisdom and context. I might be wrong but I think a lot of kids these days are sitting in their rooms with their own tv, phone, PC and just absorbing silly stuff and content made by other Gen-Z's, so its the blind leading the blind. Other generations were also raised to respect their elders but this lot love to say stuff like "OK boomer" etc. Perhaps it is valid at times but dismissing conventional wisdom doesn't tend to get you very far.
Agree 100%
I loved to read in school and asked one day to some young black people what kind of books they had read in school and done book reports on and they could not name one. I thought they might have read "Of Mice And Men" or something but they had not. They go to see or watch The Color Purple but do not know it was written by a black woman who is a great writer. They can't name or know who Shakespeare is. But if you know this stuff, you are looked down on and called white. Teachers do the best they can but it's the parents that need to PICK UP A BOOK and start reading and letting the kids see them doing it. Ask about and help with homework and show your kids that learning is important to you so it can become important to them. Turn off the dumb reality shows and get a science channel or turn on channel 13 so TV becomes a learning tool and not just a boob tube.
@@giftedandblack494 The sad thing is that there are no good educational channels any more. Channels like Discovery, The Learning Channel, the History Channel, and others like that used to be informative and very interesting, but now 90% of their programming is reality shows which teach nothing.
@@Xman156 Nobody under 50 even watches regular TV anymore.
theyre just the new gen of wineos. theyre sitting in their roons playing gatcha gambling weebs games on their phones. just leave em man it aint worth.....
"Governments don't want informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. That is against their interests. They want obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept it." - George Carlin
He was so far ahead of his time.
I blame all of this on the No Child Left Behind law. When I was in school you didn't get to pass junior high unless you memorized some of the crap they were asked And now they don't care whether you've learned it or not. all they know is that it's bullying and cruel and unusual punishment to fail a child so we must pass them all. I eventually dropped out of high school because they were failing me as an institution I kept telling them "I don't understand any of this why are you passing me?" I made it all the way to the 10th grade. By the 10th grade the very 1st exam we had I had no idea what I was looking at. I threw the test on the floor, got up walked out and I never went back I wasn't learning anything anyway, and hadn't even earned the diploma they was gonna hand me in a few years. and they didn't seem to care that I was struggling.
The problem began around 100 years ago when we allowed the secularization of the school system. It became an a government entity. We allowed the government to change the purpose of education from teaching students to be good informed citizens to prepare students for the workforce. Read The Battle For The American Mind by Pete Hegseth.
Dang. That sucks.
@@rhoetusochten4211 I am glad I grew up in NYC during the Mad Men era when we still had real education.
As George Carlin said, it went from "Head-Start" to "No Child Left Behind"... Somebody's losing Ground here.... Just Lower the Passing grades, so the Schools LOOK Better!
So bush did nothing good
3:52 you nailed it and it’s by design. This is not a drill. It’s goin down.
It's right on course!!!!
2030 baby!!!!!!
Yup
I love how he just says ‘yes’ and the people are feeling so proud. Lol
I am in education, and a child can miss most of the school year and even not do the work, and they still get passed because they don't want anyone to be held back. There is no accountability, and students know it.
There is no accountability for the teachers to teach.
This shit isn't new it started when everyone got a 🏆 so happy we had too earn ours
you got to start sending that homework "home". someone is not trying very hard and its not just entitled students.
@@tech4172 I was in elementary school in the 90s and I don't remember there being participation trophys, despite all the talk about how widespread they supposedly were among my generation. Maybe my school didn't catch on to the trend until later. Regardless, do you actually think that kids asked for the trophys? It was the Boomer generation that decided it was a good idea to give every kid a trophy.
These kids and their parents have to accept some of the blame too. Blaming this all on schools is lazy beyond belief.
To not know when the War of *1812* was. To not know the third month of the year. Or how many dimes are in a dollar.
Agreed. Parents need to get involved and pro-active in educating their children. My father taught me how to read when I was 5 years old. By the time I was in 1st grade, I had a 4th grade reading level. My Dad bought me all kinds of interesting books and magazines (nature, science, history, geography, literature) and encouraged my curiosity about the world. At the dinner table, our family would discuss world events, history, etc. If I or my siblings had problems with homework, our parents were always available to help.
By the year 1940 my late mother was a genius when compared to Generation Z.
Common sense is no longer common
You could take a homeless man from the 1960's with a elementary education, shake them out of a drunken stupor, and still get more coherent answers than this.
The parents were educated in the government schools too.
Parents....older brothers and sisters taught me many of those things...
Geography especially seems to be lacking in the USA. Had a conversation with a guy from New York who didnt believe me when I told him people from Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Columbia , Chile etc are all American too. He didn't know what a continent was either
It's Amazing that people have a device in the palm of their hand that can access the whole world's knowledge and still be Stupid.
I absolutely agree with Asia - the government has dumbing us down for years!
Dumb people are easier to control
concept is called "Learned Helplessness.:
@@atticusherodes6648 Thank you! It's good to have the right terms for things so we can all be on the same page when we hae these difficult conversations.
Let's not blame the government for what the internet has done. And laziness...At the same time a lot of these questions are basic questions.. that I would put my life on that most of these people were told one time or another. They're just the ones that didn't retain the information....
Facts
I work in the schools and can tell you that it gets worse every year - doesn’t matter how hard we try. Here’s an example for you - We had a mother who came into our office and proceeded to yell at our office staff because she said a teacher sent home an obscene note. It was a kindergarten classroom newsletter that had FYI at the top. She thought that meant “F You Idiot!” I can’t make this mess up and could write a book about the daily instances that make me want to take an Excedrin!
We also have students who walk around wearing ears and tails and claiming that they are Furbys. Their parents allow it and expect you to treat them like the animal they identify with - As in litter boxes in the restroom. That was seriously a demand. Holy shit!
Wow 😳
I asked a friend's Grandson if he had ever read a copy of our Constitution. He said no, he couldn't read anything written in cursive. (7th grade)
Wow 😳
When I told some people at work I was going to Hawaii for vacation one asked how many days it takes to drive there. I live in KY. Another asked what kind of money they used. I watched a guy use a calculator to subtract 30 from 33. I give up, gotta homeschool if you want your kids to learn anything these days.
@YT I told her 5 days. She said she would never go to Hawaii because she wasn't going to sit in a car for 5 days. What do you do.
This is why I'm homeschooling...I NEVER thought I'd homeschool but they werent learning anything besides social issues and they were talking about removing history because "its information you dont need"
Girl when my son was in 6th grade his teachers were like revolving doors the subjects would come then be gone by 7th grade he hadn't learned any History very little Science and Math and English. Then Covid happened so his 8th grade was at home and I got to see what a shitty job they were doing so he was suppose to go to the high school in our county I said fuck that I put him in a district in the country pay a tuition basically for out-of-district fees but he's doing amazing in honors classes super social well balanced kid he's a sophomore this year a d has already received a letter from a college the pride in his face was amazing had that school not had an opening I would've homeschooled him for his high school years I'm so glad it did because that's a critical age they need those social skills they need those peers as well. It is a country ass school whose football team is 2nd in the state and they teach like I was taught the schools in the cities are garbage. I hope everything works out for your son and you you did right. I've been a homemaker for 15 years I taught my son from day one til he started school I know it's hard sometimes but it pays off so much it's worth every sacrifice you and your family make it really is I think personally we as mothers have been given the most important jobs to care for and teach our societies next brilliant minds our next presidents our leaders so for all the feminist that think it's somehow demeaning to be a homemaker I would proudly disagree. God Bless you and your family#FJB🇺🇲
Where is this school system?
@@mangersavoir4213 Virginia
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it IMO
@@mangersavoir4213 if you are asking me it's in Tipton County TN. If you're asking about the garbage system Shelby County TN
Thank you for posting this! We homeschool and this video content you reacted to is one of the reasons that we do. Our oldest is 8th grade this year and our youngest is 5th grade. As all kids do, we are studying history today and the youngest starts in with “we aren’t going to need to know this”. So I pulled this video up and let them watch it. You should have seen their faces. (They looked a lot like Asia’s. Lol) They knew all the correct answers and could not believe these people’s answers! Now they are paying a lot more attention and not arguing with me about why they “need/don’t need” to do the work. Thanks for having this mama’s back! 😉 Love your channels! Keep up the good work!
Lol I knew all the answers, except global population lol. I had to look that one up
The folks in this video are putting fashion, lifestyle, music, or whatever, ahead of their general education - education is still available, but these days, you have to put yourself to task to go and get that education, or else you will just be warehoused and passed to the next grade to make the best of it out of HS. Thankfully, the trades are dead-set looking for these people, you don't have to know how many moons the earth has to swing a hammer or wrench on a car. They may not be the next leaders, but if they apply themselves and look (and not fall into a woe is me mentality), they too can thrive in America. I have lots of friends who were not book smart, but make a grip keeping America running as electricians, plumbers, cablers, and mechanics. Trade Schools for the Win!
I retired in 2012 from a major corporation and at that time I had a hard time hiring college graduates that I thought could be productive in a business environment!
We grew up in the 80s and 90s without cellphones. We had read and research all our information through books. Kids today have everything at their fingertips. But what they are busy doing Tik Toks, Instagram and other social media. My question should be do they know what an Atlas or Encyclopedia was used for.
EXACTLY!! We had to do RESEARCH in the LIBRARY or in our set of encyclopedias that most homes had BEFORE the internet. It's easy to get stuff off the internet but it's not always accurate OR detailed.
Not only but also how quickly countries were changing their names
I know,they do not know what a compass is,it's ok I will use my GPS to find my way home!!LOL'S.
Back just after the ice age when I was still in Elementary school we were required to memorize the multiplication tables. From One up to 12. That was grades 3 four five and six. Of course you would learn them all in the younger grades but when you're in the higher grades it was expected.
Never mind college.
Back just after the towers fell, same thing for me. I think it’s just a matter of people not taking education seriously anymore.
There are places where it exists as it should, but there’s no discipline to enforce it cause if snowflakes.
As a result people have the opportunity and just aren’t taking it.
Calculators had just made their way into the cheap publicly available versions and were banned from math class. It's a bit different now, and we're not talking advanced scientific math classes. I'm surprised certain register positions don't have change dispensers like many grocery stores, forcing them to count. If I don't have 'exact change' I often mix bills and change given so as to get less currency back which often leaves the attendant scratching their head. Only when they punch it into the register and see what I did do they sort of 'get it'. [edit] Example - cost 7.83 I give 13.08 get back 5.25 but this blows their mind forcing them to question my action.
Dear WASP, Back in my old hometown of NYC I attended public school from 1961 til 1974. And when I graduated from Richmond Hill High School in NYC, Imknow consider myself a genius when Imam compared to Generation Z whose favorite Congresswoman is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez aka. A.O.C.
Inadequacies of the schools aside, the nonchalant attitude they all seem to have is the most disturbing aspect of this. Realizing you can't tell someone the 3rd month of the year or how many minutes are in an hour should be an, "Oh shit!" moment. Not a giggle and shrug it off moment.
It reflects intellectual laziness. These people have "flabby" brains. Like a muscle, if you don't use it, you lose it.
The "yes" kills me! I'm just curious as to who approves the testing!! If you have a college degree dated before 2010 consider yourself a genius based on these answers! These answers wouldn't have let you pass the 5th grade in the 80s...
this is the result of having a school system that uses letters to identify "effort" and not points to score only correct answers. got 10 questions right, gets 10 points, simple and practical.
I'm sad to be in such a dumb generation. Even though it doesn't make me dumb, it makes my friends and me look dumb when this happens.
*my friends and me
@@charlesbailey5678 thanks
@@ScofieldStudios I wasn't actually expecting you to change it. It just made me chuckle because of the subject matter. :)
@@charlesbailey5678 yeah, it was definitely not great timing for a mistake.
Just vow to be better than what you see here. You don't have to get lost in the flock. Be determined to soar above it.
The teacher's union is and has been the largest union in the U.S. Behold the results of a union education.
That's why I can't stand when people complain that we "don't' spend enough on education". Then when I point out that places like Baltimore spend over $17,000 per student for terrible results they always ask "well why are teachers underpaid?". Cause Unions dumbass. What incentive does a teacher's union have to give teachers more money? What incentive does a Union have to solve problems and remove their own reason to exist?
"I finished college but i just haven't been to school"
perfect
This is why we are homeschooling. 😬 my 6 year old knows how many dimes make a dollar. She learned that last year in kindergarten. 🤦♀️
I bet a lot of those kids were homeschooled
@@ephrentinoco3224 doubt it.
Octopus one nearly killed me. Holding my nose to keep quiet at 1am. 🙊😂
Not just the educational system- short (nearly non-existant) attention spans. I've had 1st & 2nd graders that could count $, write cursive (some), and even tell you the right answer to 3x3x3. In a managed setting you pay to keep even the youngest students attention and older ones (not all) are focused on their social interactions and Not their teachers. This also makes me question all these college grads.
Show me today's college graduate and I will show you a real dummy!
I’d love to see the guy asking the questions ask these very same questions to kids under the age of say 12 & I think they would “ace” each question & leave these clueless clowns choking on their dust ✋️😆🤚
I let my kids watch this and they got them all correct. Their faces looked just like Asia’s! We homeschool. I let them watch this because one of them was fussing about learning the History Lesson for today. So I showed them this and said “THIS is why you need to know history, math and everything in between. So you can’t be tricked by a liar. Instead, you will know the truth and be able to spot the liar.” Whether that’s a politician or someone trying to scam them financially, or spot a bad business deal before signing it… Mama and Daddy won’t always be here to be that filter for them.
@@Homemade_with_love … That’s a VERY smart move I must say 👍😁. I learned from my parents how to spot a BS artist (politicians are masters at it) & how if something just doesn’t sound or feel right to simply NOT go ahead with it. It’s like developing your “spider senses” & you learn the true meaning of the phrase “If it sounds too good to be true, chances are it probably is”. I always get that feeling when that’s coming into play & it’s saved me a lot of trouble in my life & now with a wife & daughter to care for, I can’t afford to drop the ball & slip up. Best of luck with the home schooling of your kids & I hope that they are 1000% prepared for all the scams & BS they’ll face when they leave school, head out into the real world & maybe raise families themselves 🤞😎🤞
Our public schools are in seriously deep trouble. It started with budget cuts years ago, programs cut, courses cut. When I'm talking to young people today and refer to something they know nothing about, I'm thinking "what did they teach you in school? This is stuff I learned in school". When I listen to them talking all I hear is "I seen". I seen this and I seen that all day long, I even hear it from network newscasters. Don't they teach grammar in school anymore?? They know nothing about civics. Asia, you are 100% correct. Uneducated people are easy to fool, and easy to keep down. Uneducated people are needed to work at minimum wage jobs. And BJ, you are also 100% correct. They have changed teaching methods, supposedly encouraging exploration, and kids can't multiply or divide. And parents can't help because the kids aren't supposed to do it the way we learned it. Now we have book banning in school libraries, and the books they are banning are the classics. This is where the downfall of our country started. We need one public system for all children, and if parents want their children to be educated in a different system, send them to private school and pay for it yourself. The Supreme Court recently ruled that Catholic schools can no longer be excluded from public funds. So much for the separation of church and state. I pay my school taxes. I don't want my money going to religion-based schools or private schools. Send your kids to public school if you don't want to pay for private school. Don't expect me to support your religion with my money. Brad, it's not isolated, it's nationwide. It started in the eighties and it has steadily grown worse.
Here’s the scary part. These people have the same one vote that we all have. A representative republic heading towards ruin because of our failed educators who are more concerned about agenda and pension than insuring the competency of our children. Shame on them.
These reaction videos are funna af🤣 but at the same time i lose all hope for the future🙄, i can`t believe there are so many ignorant people, but then again the school system not only in the US but in all the western world is falling apart because the lunatics have taken over the educational system.
That being said, please keep these coming, love your reactions👍
Yes. Parents of these folks also get a chunk of the blame. Stupid parents raising stupider kids. Imagin how even stupider their kids will be.
Dont know about the rest of the world...when they ask some tourist or exchange student , they usually know all the answers...im talking about europeans, asians and africans ! So , Western countries are doing fine ! Eastern and southern countries too... this stuff is only in America
The only solution is realizing that and working to a solution ! Without thinking how other countries school system are doing...
@@dreadd90 Yeah, I'm from the UK and this has blown my mind. The most profound is the young man not knowing what 3x7 equals.
We're laughing at this but in truth it's not funny in the slightest.
Blame the education system all you like, but a parent must surely be aware of how absurdly dumb their child is?
Between social media, cell phones, and the internet, kids today are bombarded with so much useless junk.
Asia is exactly right on how our children are being educated
I could tell Asia was upset when she said “ they are twirling their feet and kicking up their thumbs.” And in the middle of this we got to hear BJ sing a little. Yes this generation is a head scratcher.
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) leaves us with all children and parents who want a good quality education being left behind.
The teachers for these kids - especially the ones in the unions - need to be taken to a lonely island and left there to fend for themselves.
WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE AND SO IS OUR FUTURE...WHY does the guy keep saying "YES" after they give the wrong answer, he's just letting them know that they are "correct"! WHY doesn't he CORRECT THEM!? I am a former teacher and this APPALLS me! I wonder if these people just didn't pay ATTENTION in school, or in a school where they didn't make them put there PHONES away while in class? SOME teachers would make them leave their cell phone with the teacher. There are a few adults who don't know much either! I have seen them being asked questions like this on the street and they didn't know the answers either. I am 75 years old and I started Kindergarten in 1952, Jr. High and High School from 1959 through 1965, and University from 1965-1969. I felt that I had an EXCELLENT education. Things SURE HAVE CHANGED. EVER SINCE cash registers started telling cashiers what change to give them, they STOPPED teaching children how to count money and count back change. we learned how to do that in 3rd grade. I have been in a store where the registers went down and young cashiers had NO idea what change to give me. I told them, and actually counted it back into their hands and they looked at me like I was nuts or trying to cheat them. Young people don't even know how to read a clock that ISN"T DIGITAL, a clock with a face and hands. Funny cos Alaska and Hawaii became states when I was in elementary school, it was a BIG deal at the time. I was ALWAYS interested in History and Geography and did well in those subjects and had a great interest in the Civil War era. PLUS my family traveled a lot which helped in Georgraphy. In 5th grade we learned all about EACH STATE, their capitals, what products and agriculture they produced at that time, WHERE they were located on the map. For a test we were given a blank map of the U.S. and we had to write the name of each state in their correct location, AND the location of the capital in each state.
Schools are now often focussed on teaching students what to think, where their mandate it to teach them how to think.
11:58 - The way that question is articulated, there are two possible answers: if she was born before the day of the interview, she'd be 10 but if she was born after the day of the interview, she'd still be 9. So, it's not as straightforward as it might seem.
If you were born 10 years ago today was the question. So you would be 10 & today would be your Birthday, Many Happy Returns!
@@chrissouthgate4554 - Nope, the question was asked exactly how it was written on the left side. I understood that by "today" he meant "2022", not the day of the interview.
Starts out being funny, then becomes sad. And then horrifying, when considering that some will vote in the next election.
That is a prime example of why parents should have school vouchers. To be able to send our children to private schools. That would force the public school system to give our kids education they need to have a better life.
YES ...our education really is this bad. I talked to middle schoolers and they are disturbing as hell. They answer my questions about social/political issues (which they know about but really shouldn't) , and the way they answer and word their replies IS IDENTICAL to woke radical liberal leftist high schoolers and college students. ITS EXTREMELY DISTURBING.
Do you think a leader can make everyone happy?
"Yeah, he SHOULD"
Did you know our rights are affirmed by our constitution?
"......I don't like the way you worded that"
See how brainwashed these kids are?!?!
11:10 If you're not good with your times tables here is a tip i used as a child....i was told...pick one of the numbers and count to it using the other number.
For instance, your numbers are 6×3....count to 6...3 times or count to 3...6 times...either way, you will always come up with 18. In the age of cell phones this may not mean much, but when i was gifted this tip when i was a kid, man this saved my life in math class. Hope it helps someone else.
I have an 18 year old daughter who’d have smoked those questions. Those questions are basic knowledge that EVERY school teaches. Whether or not kids choose to pay attention is on them. If parents don’t emphasize learning in the home then kids are unlikely to advance very far. I’d never fully trust someone to school my child that isn’t me. It takes a concerted effort to educate these children. On a different note, Asia, I’d love to see you and BJ react to Angelina’s last studio cover of I Have Nothing by Whitney. Angie may have struggled a bit singing that song at 13, but she’s not 13 anymore. Her rendition is powerful and emotional. You’ll not be just impressed, you’ll be amazed at how deep and rich her voice has become at only 16 years of age. Keep up the good work, folks!
♥ The Department of Education has to go, y'all.
The teacher unions have to go too. They do not have the kids best interest at heart
@@neillenet291 Yes, you're absolutely right! Thanks for speaking up. I usually catch hell for that comment (lol).
@@iamjenniferjames I have the utmost respect for the good teachers in this country. The union not so much.

Along with every other alphabet agency.
BJ don’t try to give them an excuse…if you do they will put forth even less effort. You have to remember the old Ron White adage which is…”you can’t fix stupid!!”. Quite literally if people don’t know basic arithmetic, how can they put one foot in front of the other? Or even be able to learn a language?
Nothing pisses me off more than people failing to learn the basics of ANY subject.
They're not being taught the fundamentals of learning! They're being taught things that they will probably not need in their everyday life. This is why vocational classes are very important to the average future laborer!
Not just gen z. Their parents too are to blame
I grew up in the 60s and 70s when parents and schools worked together to bring the best educational opportunities for us. We learned to research using dictionaries and encyclopedias. We learned to understand geography, history, math and science, but we also had the arts and sports as well. This was government education at its best. Unfortunately, in the past 20-30 years, things took a downward turn. I don't envy parents, kids, or teachers these days.
How do you estimate the answer to be 105 when the question is 3x7?
I think that's the scariest part. The inability to use basic logic.
Even the worse at math should be able to do the 10x multiplications. 10, 20, 30, etc. Its literally counting to ten.
Blame the educational system (indoctrination) and uninvolved parents. Like Asia correctly said, ignorant people are easier to control.
Every year the movie Idiocracy becomes more and more true. 🤦🏻♀️
I agree with BJ these kids are not being taught like we were. Born in ‘82 and no cellphones and kids were less distracted with the internet, everyone has adhd now. 🤷🏻♀️
Their parents can’t answer those questions either.
Our schools are nothing but large and VERY expensive daycare centers where most parents leave their kids for someone else to watch and feed.
You guys went from "hahahahaha", to "huh", to pure sadness.
I went to public school in NYC and we were learning science in 3rd grade. We knew these basic things about the US in elementary school. If kids were not doing well in school teachers would call the parent. The parents have to put pressure on the schools. Attend meetings etc.
This is why I was home schooled..I ended up being smarter then half the kids in public schools these days
Only half?
@@fionnmaccumhaill3257 ..good point but keep in mind there are always someone out there in the world that knows something you don't no matter how much people claim that they know everything..they don't
@@fionnmaccumhaill3257 ..remember to always think logically
I’m really liking y’all’s mix of content, reacting to videos like this, full movies like alien, keep doing the damn thang lol.
This is common practice, especially the online learning bits. I had already gone to school and earned 2 master's degrees, along with 4 technical school certifications. I wanted to learn to write a little more effectively, and all i could find was Journalism and Mass Communication courses online. I had no interest in the journalism parts, nor any of the rest of it. I simply wanted to learn to write a little more effectively.
I realized within my very first semester that i didn't even have to try hard. All i had to do was go to google, type the question, and the answer was provided. Of course, i was a little smarter than the average cheater, so i opened the book to the proper page and as expected, the answer was provided, and correct online.
Needless to say, i went on into my second year with offers of honor society membership. I held a 4.2 GPA simply because i looked everything up online and figured out how to source everything i wrote about in term papers. I nearly copied and pasted entire speeches, while giving sources for all of it. It was the easiest grades I'd ever received.
About midway through my second year, I gave up the ghost. It was way too easy. If getting a college degree these days is as easy as searching google, and copy/pasting...I could do that without ever spending a dime. In the end, I guess no one is really educated any higher than anyone else...we just pay for the papers that say we are. Everything else can be researched online.
The issue doesn't come while things are running smoothly. The issue comes when the internet is gone. Everything you thought you knew because you could search the web better than others....that's gone. Web MD....well half the hospitals in the country would be rescheduling appointments until it came back up again. Idiocracy....it's a thing.
Any one of those kids could easily replace Joe Biden today.
Fleccas is great
Oh my God, every time Asia was laughing so hard it was cracking me up.
I'm reminded of a quote by Sugata Mitra. I cant remember the exact quote but it was along the lines of, "Why know anything in an age where knowing is obsolete?" He was referencing how modern children have access to the collection of all human knowledge at their fingertips at all times, so why know anything anymore?
This is sad to think that these people are our future leaders. Most of these questions starts in the home before going on to the teachers in school. So the parents are to blame as much as the school systems. Sad!!
Asia you make a very good point about how under educating people makes them easier to control ( I don't know if I would say that's what's happening here in the US) because I used to have a friend/coworker who was raised in Laos and he would tell me stories about how out there the masses got very little education and the wealthy could afford to get a much better education to keep the ppl in power in power and the poor ppl poor
Asia your comment about the uneducated being pliable was spot on! Chump even Said he Loves the uneducated. Facts there. Before our eyes.
I have a friend who is like this and he is about to enter college and I am genuinely worried for him. Bro literally said Franklin Roosevelt was the first president of the U.S.
this is the shit that happens when you got teachers an a educational system as a whole more worried about a persons pronouns than the basic math, science, english an history. also bring back home ec.
No Child Left Behind left so many of my generation and Gen Z to be left behind in so many aspects. God Help Us. These will be the _'Doctors'_ taking care of us as elderlies.
It set me back by not being in a class where I felt that I was supposed to be in, and I had been in and out of gifted/honor/AP classes throughout school, but I eventually dropped out in 10th grade because of the ones in class who couldn’t keep up and/or didn’t care about more than distracting us from learning, the school not caring about how well I did on *all* the tests and only caring about my attendance for meeting their AYP funding, and telling me my parents were neglecting me by not being able to afford insurance to take me to doctors (since we were losing our house and much more around 2010-2011) to find out why I was/am so sick and unable to come to school.
When I dropped out because we lost our place to live, they told me I’d never amount to anything and that was from the *_'Guidance Counselor'_* *and* the administrators/principal. I had more credits than average and would’ve even graduated early but they didn’t teach/care.
So many kids in my classes would be kids who I shared an AP or honors class the semester/year before with, and we’d try to sit together - since we were able to get our work done much faster & focus more at our pace, and I can only imagine how much it sucks for those who truly come to *learn* when they go to school nowadays.
Public schools are a big problem also, charter schools do a lot better (statistically), including in Harlem. I’ve had many public schoolteachers who honestly don’t know what they’re even teaching, they learn with their class. It’s just memorization, for the most part. They don’t teach *_how_* to *think.* Many can’t spell. I’ve seen English teachers grade papers and use incorrect grammar.
Thank you to all the true teachers out there. You’re rare gems and I can assure you that your students remember you, just as I do the rare gems I’d had. God Bless y’all.
Learned multiplication table to 12 in grade 5 that was to move on to the next grade. This is crazy
This is on the parents too. Obviously the schools/curriculum and teachers are hot trash. But if you've raised a kid for 18, 20 years and they think Earth has 6 moons,
you've failed terribly as well. Talk to your kids, every day. If they seem like blithering idiots you've GOT to step up.
Some of this is on mom and dad, not just the teachers
My son was born in 1990, he didn’t do his homework… I got two letters in the mailbox one saying he failed 6th grade, the other saying he needs to be in advanced classes 🤦♀️
I totally agree with you. Knowledge is power. My son works for a school district and passing children is #1 priority whether they are prepared or not.
What's really disheartening is not only that they can't answer the question but they have no curiosity to learn.
Good insight. Now for the next eye opening for you two. Step one read 1984. Step two think about how a parent would let their child be locked up behind a gate with armed guards. Step 3 realize why a parent would sacrifice freedom for safety. Step 4 think about what would have to happen to get a parent to go along with that. Step 5 realize there is nothing power wouldn’t do to gain more power. The truth is out there, like 2 feet in front of our noses.
Asia, with these kids coming behind us to take over, we’ll need to live FOREVER at the rate these kids are going! ❤ love your channel guys! Always puts a smile on my face!
The Federal government needs to get out of our education.
Depends on what you mean by "get out". Maybe they shouldn't set the curriculum, other than perhaps setting some basic required levels of numeracy and language skills, but they should be staying in by properly funding education. Otherwise you're saying education should be only for those who can afford it
Indifference and Apathy... otherwise known as "I ain't got time for that s*it!"
Like when you were taking Algebra or Geometry in school and thought to yourself "when am I ever gonna need to use this in real life", until 30 years later when you're trying to build a short flight of steps to your new deck and can't figure out how to measure the risers properly.
A long time ago, I was in McDonalds, and bought a Combo meal. Total came to $5.83 (yes, a long time ago). Gave the guy behind the counter 6 Dollars. He looked at me, then the $$, gave me another tilted head look like the RCA Victor dog listening to the gramaphone. He then opened the cash register and told me " Take what you think you get back." smh...
Told him, "give me a Nickel, a Dime, and two Pennies" and walked out.
I really want to see a series like this in other countries and see if it's anywhere near as bad. There have been some studies done too that shows kids don't retain information the same way with digital tools compared to books. Even kids that were polled said they preferred writing by hand rather than using a tablet.
I honestly was told by a teacher that "reading to my daughter gave her an unfair advantage." 😩😔
🤯
Bravo Asia..absolutely correct..sad but true 👍
I was in elementary school in the 70’s- remember my best friend (still is to this day) her parents made the choice to “hold her back” a year cuz they get she didn’t learn enough that year- and they were not strict parents either- ALSO, I remember if you missed so many days, they’d fail you- SOOO many things have changed nowadays- I’m glad I grew up in the decades I did.. not to mention so much more fun and appreciated- My opinion-🙂💖💙
I understand that the education system is broken, but my question is where are the parents. Do you not talk to your children? Do you no t have intellectual conversations with your child? How do you not know they are this clueless? People put the phones down, get off the computer and have a conversation with your child. If the schools are failing it's your job to step up. Just saying. If my children answered like this I'd be sitting them down I don't care how old they are. Great reaction, be blessed.
All by design even during WW1 they realised students was getting smarter than they wanted so they started to remove good books
As a teacher, I will say the home life IS the classroom life. The cultural support for strengthening our education system is very lacking. And attitude towards teachers in this society differ vastly than the respect given by other culture and societies. Also, the US prison industrial complex affects poor people and disproportionately is represented in numbers by blacks and browns compared to whites. (Taking a man out of the home is a great way to insure community instability. The snowball rolls from there and other sources of inequality (especially in education) between rich and poor to create many arc lines towards profit for big industries. Remember, our prisons are FOR PROFIT and HAVE QUOTAS though crime rates have been falling. Inside is a mode of slavery, (working for almost nothing). Why would the $$$ interests stop this cycle. I believe, we are witnessing the collateral damage from that path. What seems essential to these people is fashion and 'pop culture' exclusively, activities are video games prolly bc the parks and playgrounds are now taken over by the displaced population of homelessness. Things can get better if we want it and will it. Better than getting cynical. Plus, this is sadly good comedy. ;)
Thank you Asia & BJ again! Keep smiling!
It's funny but its actually more sad.... I read books to my kids and grandchildren. Not school system books. REAL AUTHORS.
"EDUCATE THE MIND"
Asia, I surly hope that I am LONG GONE before THESE young people rule the world!!!!!
A college grad didn't know how many seconds were in a minute? WTF!!
As a reader of thousands of books (I had my first Library card at age 3) and I have been reading eBooks since 2012. When I pick up a real book that I turned a physical page, I can remember the entire story but I can finish an eBook I couldn’t tell you the names of the characters. I believe that schooling on digital tablets in early formative years is bad for their memories.
*SNORE*
It really bothers me … the interviewer Should give them the right answer so, they will know. He could educate.
It is on the education system but come on, if your kid can't answer these basic things, it's on you as a parent.
The Gen Z videos has shook youtube these past few weeks 🤣🤣🤣
All I can say about this is that I'm glad I'm in my sixties now. This country will be gone in another generation or two.
I hope I'm gone by then.
Hi guys. Love you guys. My son is 18. Gen Z graduated high-school with honours an 89% average and is attending one of Canada's top Universities in September. Not all Gen Z are Idiots, but indeed a scary prospect! XO from Canada 🇨🇦
I totally agree with BJ on the comment of being hands on with learning in class. there's too much teaching using electronics, computers and no method of using their brain to count. We need to go back to old school ways of teaching, between the way teachers instruct and the who don't pay attention, this new BS is killing everyone in class. And the responsibility is definitely on BOTH ends: the education system and the students.
He said the number of Stars on the Flag = the number of laws! LOL. I wish! That would be awesome. The government only gets to make 50 laws! Brilliant!
💯% Asia I weep for the future.
There were three Civil Was which were fought between those who supported Charles I and those supporting Parliament. They took place between 1642 and 1651. The term 'Cavalier' was first used by Roundheads as a term of abuse for the wealthier royalist supporters of King Charles I and his son Charles II of England during the English Civil Wars.
