Millennial's The Dumbest Generation Ever.

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Is this any surprise when we have a liberal progressive education system teaching white guilt, removing the will to win out of children by giving winners and losers medals, the school system taking the rights away from the parents and trying to make kids part of the collective. And possibly the worst thing of all teaching the children there are no moral facts which shows why they are such a entitled, narcissistic, self absorbed bunch we have ever seen. Congrats socialists everywhere!

In literacy, millennials in the U.S. were better only than Spain and Italy among the 22 participating O.E.C.D. countries.



In numeracy, millennials in the U.S. were tied for last with Italy and Spain.
In problem solving, millennials in the U.S. again ranked last, this time tied with the Slovak Republic, Ireland and Poland.


Countries that ranked high for millennial score levels (in order, across fields): Finland, Japan, Sweden, Netherlands and Norway.


The U.S. millennial population of course includes both those with and without a college education. And the data show that a college degree is no guarantee of comparing well internationally. U.S. millennials with a four-year bachelor’s degree scored higher in numeracy than their counterparts in only two countries in the study: Poland and Spain.
Further, the best-educated millennials -- those who have a master's or a research-oriented degree -- only outperformed across all fields their counterparts in Ireland, Poland and Spain.


The ETS study also looked at various demographic groupings. For instance, the study found a strong correlation between the millennial skill levels and parental levels of educational attainment. But there was no country that scored lower than the United States across all levels of parental educational attainment.

This is true...and people used to crack jokes about Gen X'ers; compared to Millenials, Gen X'ers are geniuses.

I'm pretty sure this happens with every generation, that the older one thinks the new one is dumb and wrong and it's a vicious cycle. Times are changing, and although some change can be bad at times, it's good to try new things and learn what we did wrong as well as what we did right.

Heh, there's a mistake in the title of this thread. Oh and your link is broken.

Is this any surprise when we have a liberal progressive education system

Well, yes, since Europe is outperforming you.


In any case, I'm pleased enough by these stats. I was expecting lower numeracy scores.

People may say it and think it with every generation but this one is backed up with actual stats of what and who they are and it is not pretty.

I would say not really because Europe is not looking all that good either.

The link works for me but here it is again from the place I got it.
