Yeah, but even worse, you're just talking about schools. You forgot about all the kids being home schooled, taught the earth is flat and an imaginary friend created everything in 7 days. Taught by parents who lack proper education themselves.

Also, it's kinda obvious the rules of math aren't different in the US. Even when they use an idiotic measuring system. If people don't know how to use math properly, the issue clearly is the education and not math itself.

    I'm talking about anyone at all in the U.S. is allowed to teach Maths without any Maths qualifications

    You forgot about all the kids being home schooled

    That happens in other countries too, and yet it's the U.S. which has been sliding down the world rankings for more than a decade, the country that doesn't require Maths teachers to have Maths qualifications.

    Also, it’s kinda obvious the rules of math aren’t different in the US

    That's right, as proven by U.S. Maths textbooks

    If people don’t know how to use math properly, the issue clearly is the education and not math itself

    Partly right. there's also people who just outright forgot the rules.

    It doesn't really matter, who needs math anyway? If the president can claim medicine prices will go down 1200%...

    If the president can claim medicine prices will go down 1200%

    I was joking. I was being sarcastic. I was making fun of the US president because he doesn't understand the concept op percentages. You know, something you learn during basic math in primary school. All while being the freaking president. A potato as a president is tearing down the already fucked up education system, replacing it with his propaganda.

    The president's net approval rating is -16%, up 2.3 points since last week. 41% approve, 57% disapprove, 4% not sure.

    Source: The economist

    This means only 57% consists of people who knew he was criminal pedophile piece of shit, or recently realized because they trusted his lies over facts before. That also means the rest (except the 1% of people who hold all the wealth and actually love him for getting even more rich at the cost of everyone else, thanks to him) are too dumb to understand what 2+2 is. Also the journalist from The Economist, even though the paper is British, because when you add up those percentages you get a total of a 102%.

    By now the movie Idiocracy is no longer a comedy, it's a prediction of the very near future of the US. An optimistic one, because in the movie they didn't kill themselves or blew up the entire world.

    Ok, fair enough, but you know some of his followers are dead serious about it, right? I've seen Dr. Oz defending him as being correct. A smiley goes a long way

    A potato as a president is tearing down the already fucked up education system

    Yep, and a large number of his followers think that is a good thing, because they think teachers are brainwashing children 😂

    Many of his religious followers believe Jesus will return and they will go to heaven when there is a total world destruction event, caused by a conflict with Israel and unbelievers. They want to support Israel with loads of weapons, because they want the civilization ending even to happen as soon as possible so they will go to their imaginary God. They are completely metal and fucked up and have nothing to do with facts, reality and science. The followers who are dead serious are greatly misinformed due to his propaganda, due to their only source for news is fox which is also Trump propaganda and because they lack proper education and intelligence, hence again the whole issue.

    Yep, and a large number of his followers think that is a good thing, because they think teachers are brainwashing children

    It starts to look like a cult. Dismissing science and claiming their leader is God-like, while breaking off ties with the outside.
