Is this really the state of American education?

[LONDONER]

Those two guys in the video were trying to answer the question of "how many hours does it take for a car going 80 miles an hour to reach 80 miles".

Both those guys must have been smoking dope,,, cause they couldn't figure it out.

What was worse were some of the answers they guessed, ranging from two to six hours.

The question here has nothing to do with how long it take to travel 80 miles at 80 miles per hour.

The question is WHERE do they get their STUFF??

And, uh, memechose, does Febreze really work?

They simply made an educated guess??? hehehe

Speaking as an American, we are stupid and yet sometimes entertaining.

HELL YES!

Buddy I keep FIVE cans in the house at all times and FIVE more stored in the storm shelter where I keep all my bulk supplies. It'd not an air freshener like you're used to. It just kills odors and leaves a FRESH scent.

I give it a ✮✮✮✮✮✮ rating.

Wait a minute. What is causing all them stinkies? Too many beans for lunch?

The current odor source is the new NordicTrack my mom and Dad brought over and gave us me without asking first. Ray is on it for hours daily. It smells like a dumpster full of sweaty dirty jock straps downstairs after he's done.

If it is, it's depressing.

Yes, a sample of three Americans can accurately describe more than three hundred million.

But on a more serious note, even though America has some of the best universities in the world (like MIT, Caltech, and Princeton), we still have problems educating kids. For example, in 2013, in the Rochester City School District, only 43.4 percent of high school seniors graduated:

The metropolitan area of Rochester, NY, has some fine universities like Rochester Institute of Technology and Rochester University that attract students from all over the world. But as you can see, it has a problem with its own high school students going to school.
I do find it depressing. I feel grief for the uneducated in my country. I feel grief for my own self and dread the day my education plan is crushed when the day comes that I find I can't afford to finish my degree. I put myself in debt to go to college so I can pay it off later and make a good salary, and then half-way through my degree I am no longer approved for student loans so not only can I never finish my degree but the loan company can never get their money back because they prevented me from finishing college. In a cosmic way it's rather comical, actually.

lol, this makes me miss the stoner conversations with my friends when I was younger.
