I know there are plenty of smart kids out there, but they are more and more outnumbered by dumber and dumberer kids.

Unfortunately, the smart kids have to sit in the same classrooms as the dumb ones. We have to dumb everything down to the least intelligent students, because God forbid someone get's their feelings hurt when they constantly do worse than the rest of the kids in the classroom.

Dumbing everyone down is just part of what will ultimately make them 100% unable to take care of themselves as adults, and 100% make them rely on the government for all of their needs. They'll become slaves at that point, doing whatever menial task they are told, just so they can survive.

I couldn't agree more. Being a gifted child in the same classes as less intelligent pupils is a worthy depiction of HELL.

Will? Have you ever visited the resource centers of universities? People can’t write coherent paragraphs and need help with basic algebra.

I’m on another forum with a guy who teaches law students. His goal for these future lawyers is to get them to read and understand the Trolley Problem. The answers he gets from college graduates are things like lol 5>1 or “I don’t want to kill people”.

Makes them stand out more.

Are you saying that's a good thing?

[–]IkeConn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

It is. For the smart kids.

Spoken like a true DUMBASS. You clearly have no idea what it's like.

[–]IkeConn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

To be dumb like you. I clearly have no idea how to be as dumb as you. No idea. Bless your heart.

Explain how it's a good thing, since I'm "too dumb" to figure it out for myself...

[–]IkeConn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I don't think you can be fixed.

[–]Alphix[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

OK, you obviously have no knowledge of any of this nor any ability to express yourself in a way that can convey significant meaning.

[–]IkeConn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Bless your heart.

Intelligence grants one to know things that require that degree of intelligence, plus EVERYTHING BENEATH IT. You must be terribly mentally handicapped if your mind can't encompass even the dumbest. But the reason you can't understand me is that I am obviously orders of magnitude smarter than you. But obviously, since you are unable to understand this, you think that means I'm not smart. Idiots always react this way.
