the English proficiency of young people in the country is stagnant compared to other countries and regions.
Seems like my gut was right, that it’s less because they’re regressing, and more because other countries have been increasing theirs.

Sometimes I truly do love the absurdity of my country
Yeah I’m sure I’d probably be using chatgpt these days if I were still in school instead of paying the frankly stupid amount Chegg cost.
I imagine it varies quite a bit depending on the subject and who’s doing the answers. There were 3 or 4 answer authors that I learned to recognize as consistently quite good in the areas I needed it in.
I guess I had a much different experience with Chegg than most.
For a handful of my classes, it was the only way to consistently get similar problems with worked out solutions. I’m not going to pretend I never was lazy and used it to cheat, but most of my usage was of problems I wasn’t assigned so I could see how they were done.
That said, I can’t speak as to how they pay the people that actually do the work, that may be a whole can of worms that I really probably should’ve looked into when I was using it.
I like how one of their points of evidence is a only kinda sort of expensive camper trailer. Yeah, I’m perfectly fine with the people maintaining a public resource like that being able to go on camping trips lmao.
Turns out being a racist shithead is in no way determined by your race or ethnicity.
I should have clarified. I mean silly (fun) not silly (ridiculous)
The monarchies can stay on one condition. They all wear silly hats like the Swedish king
I would say that’s an accurate description for a barbie doll that explodes personally.
I’m sure this varies a lot from district to district, but the districts that I have teacher friends in, they’ve been using Chromebooks almost exclusively for the better part of a decade now
The most common explanation I’ve seen, and imo it makes sense, is that things mostly just work now. Even XP required a helluva lot more troubleshooting and messing with stuff to make it work than today. So you not only have a bunch of people that have no troubleshooting experience, a large portion don’t even know how to properly search for things.
On the flip side, you have a lot more people doing insanely impressive stuff at a lot younger ages because if you have the drive to do it, there’s more material to learn than ever out there.
Not a single US city was ever attacked by an enemy nation.
This is definitely an um ackushally, but the Brits did burn the capitol.
I’ll never (with exceptions, but this isn’t one) root for someones death. But I’m sure as fuck not going to shed a tear over him. The kid on the other hand? That’s just awful.
This varies heavily state to state and even district to district, but generally after you’ve been teaching for a while, you’ll be making ok money. The issue is how low starting pay is and how long it takes to get to that point, often 10+ years. 10+ years where you’re scraping to get by and don’t really have the ability to set any money aside.
I read it less as them shitting on them and more them making a joke about how things tend to immediately go wrong the second you say anything positive about it.
Cryptobros are mad people have realized they’re full of shit
Some people really don’t think before they speak do they
You mean to tell me the guy who’s only rich because daddy ran a emerald slave mine in apartheid South Africa isn’t a good person? Never.
It’s literally in the first sentence
