Keep a LOT of kids functionally illiterate and you can make sure they will never succeed. Then they can depend of government to take care for them for life. This is not an accident.

This is why I like to pay with exact change, sometimes it's either funny or sad when the cashier has trouble counting 85 cents

True story, a few years ago I was in a sandwich shop. My total came to something like $19.23. I had a pocket full of change and didn't want to add to it, so I handed the cashier $20.23. She turned to a coworker and asked "what's the change on this?". Coworker goes "Seriously?". She says "No really, I was never good at math."

Well, obviously it's because the teachers in that school district need another pay raise.

Or

The curriculum is "RACIST". You know too much testing emphasis on : Math, Reading, and Writing. Not to mention, History. Because it should be rewritten (to target/spin the obvious hatred of the past).

Or

The test didn't cover enough about : race, gender identity, sex education and other equity issues. Besides, it's more about creating a well-round person......with a lot of self-esteem and other stuff that are hard to measure.

Rrrrright.

I like to remind the struggling cashier that they have a calculator on their phone

Decades back when you pumped then went in to pay. I put $10 in, walk in hand young girl a $20. She is counting out all these bills, I thought she had no 5s or 10's. As I am walking out I count she had given me $18. I wanted to just keep going but figured they would take it out of her pay. So I give it back to her, she tries again. This time gives me $13 back. I said you know 10 and 10 = 20? Her register was the at that time new models that would do the math for her. I doubt she had that job long

These people will be voters as well... like many of the current voters, they are unable to comprehend the consequences of their actions.

Similar experience buying gas at a marina recently. She actually shorted me a few cents, but it just wasn't worth it.
