Tamra 😖 I hate to admit the real truth in that statement. 6y
AmyG True and so very 😪 6y
Izai.Amorim @Tamra @AmyG But then there‘s the short attention span: they forget quickly. A friend of my hitchhiked in the US in the early 1980s. Said one truck driver, “Germany, you said? I‘ve been everywhere. Can‘t remember driving through any state called Germany...” 35 years after WW2!!! 6y

Lcsmcat @Izai.Amorim OMG! Don‘t judge us all by the truck drivers. However I will admit to learning more geography in my French classes than in history or social studies. And geography as a separate course was only offered at the Advanced Placement level, so a typical high school graduate, from my state at least, would not study it. 😔 6y
Tamra @Izai.Amorim 😖😖😖 6y
Izai.Amorim @Lcsmcat Don‘t worry, I‘d never do that. The US has its share of great minds and highly educated people, like everywhere else. What is strange is the discrepancy between high and low education. The minimum education that one should have in the US seems much less than in other countries. It‘s not that US people aren‘t able to learn, it seems that there‘s no interest in teaching them. I don‘t blame the truck driver but the syllabus. 6y
Lcsmcat @Izai.Amorim Oh I agree. I used to teach in a private school that had several foreign students each year. Some countries, Germany among them, wouldn‘t count any of the classes they took with us. It was like taking a year off for them. On the other hand, many of them came from such rigid curricula that they had never learned anything of music or art. My ultimate take-away is that you have to be responsible for your own (and your children‘s) cont. 6y
Lcsmcat education, because something will get missed no matter how hard the school tries. 6y
Izai.Amorim @Lcsmcat 👍Agreed. My daughter just started a gap year, traveling and working abroad to learn things that can‘t be taught at school. Education is more than raw knowledge. 6y
Gezemice Oh that is classic Marc Twain👍 6y
