    This would be funny …
    This would be funny if it were a “funny cuz it’s true” satire, but it’s not true. When I was in elementary school, we learned a shitload about butterflies; as if a child would have no hope for success in life if they didn’t know what a chrysalis was.

    It’s more important to learn about extinct animals, such as dinosaurs.
    Increase the budget for that and then decrease the whale budget.

    @kratex1 The blame …
    @kratex1 The blame should not be put on kids. It’s true that some kids do focus more on their social life than learning, but I can guarantee you that 99% of students would want to learn if the information presented to them was relevant to their interests. It also wouldn’t hurt if all of the incompetent teachers who don’t even care about the success of their students were fired.

    This is real problem. Kids these days pay to much attention to “being cool” than actually learning. We really are falling behind the world in our education.
