There was this test. And it was daunting. It was like the SAT or ACT -- which many American millennials are no doubt familiar with, as they are on track to be the best educated generation in history -- except this test was not about getting into college. This exam, given in 23 countries, assessed the thinking abilities and workplace skills of adults. It focused on literacy, math and technological problem-solving. The goal was to figure out how prepared people are to work in a complex, modern society.

And U.S. millennials performed horribly.

That might even be an understatement, given the extent of the American shortcomings. No matter how you sliced the data – by class, by race, by education – young Americans were laggards compared to their international peers. In every subject, U.S. millennials ranked at the bottom or very close to it, according to a new study by testing company ETS.

“We were taken aback,” said ETS researcher Anita Sands. “We tend to think millennials are really savvy in this area. But that’s not what we are seeing.”

Schools are too busy talking about white privelege and ebonics to teach anyone anything, and too full of disruptive african ninjas for anyone to learn anything if they did. Most of the phds now are foreigner third raters and h1bs sponsored by global corporations as well. So no huge surprise that joke of a system has fallen apart, too, that is where the multicult rot started in the first place.

The education systems around the world are becoming exponentially outdated with the rise of the internet. There's no reason to put retards and geniuses in the same rooms anymore. An intelligent young boy or girl can learn more on one day on the internet than an entire year of "formal" education. I believe in the "dumbing-down" social phenomenon. Very few people actually, truly want to educate young people. Instead there are systems in place to keep people retarded and brain-dead stupid.

Although it maybe a natural occurrence (top IQ level) that a very rare subset of the population has an authentic interest in knowledge and wisdom.

A lot of young people "give up" on learning very early on, and convince themselves they're stupid when they had so much more potential to grow.
