That first part is very close to what my childhood has been like, the only things that are different are the skills, the mental issues, and how much money came in (its close to it though.)

Too Much Free Time
At lot of it is down to the parents- if you leave your kid with the electronic babysitter all day it'll stunt their mental and physical development.
Wheres if you spend a lot of time with them, you'll teach them a lot. Give them some real toys to play with; they'll learn a lot more playing with wooden blocks than a iPad.

And even more if you give them a couple of books a week and let them choose any difficulty level they want.
Both of these statements remind me exactly of half the people where I work. Needless to say, I get easily frustrated...
There are...an unfortunately large amount of factors that go into making a True Idiot (TM). Homeschooling, poverty, poor living conditions, turning school into one gigantic dick measuring contest instead of actually educating kids, the list goes on. Though, the least we could do in 'Murica is actually bother looking at what works in other countries. Countries that are largely kicking our ass in education. Like Finland.
I have met people who were unaware that other countries even had educational programs; he seriously believed that the US was the only developed country in the world.

Well America is the greatest country in the world.

Sounds like a (stereo?)typical American to me. XDI have met people who were unaware that other countries even had educational programs; he seriously believed that the US was the only developed country in the world.
Dont take it too seriously.
Growing up where I did, I have absolutely zero trouble believing that...and that disturbs me.I have met people who were unaware that other countries even had educational programs; he seriously believed that the US was the only developed country in the world.
I have always assumed the Americans were better developed than us here.
Except for stop signs at every intersection. Who needs this?
Germany's home to some of the finest engineers on the planet, they seem to be doing just fine, education-wise.
Having spoken to more than one resident of Germany, it sounds like it makes even where I live look like Alabama by comparison.
You mean what I wrote in Post #1150 ?
Well that's what I thought when I was young. I've never actually been to America so I have no clue.
Sorry if I somehow offended you
There are so many things wrong with the US and the way it is run that I could have this thread locked listing them all...let's not do that.

I'm not sure about this but it isn't that idiotic. Is there a specific part that made you facepalm using your computer?
"If you want nuclear physics, try ReactorCraft"
"BigReactors is just as realistic"
"How? Everything is pseudo-magical."
"Well...graphite exists...."
That is like saying
"If you want a space movie that is realistic, try Interstellar"
"Star Wars is just as realistic"
"How? It is more fantasy than science"
"Well....planets exist..."
