Astonishing

About 50% of people are below average

Think about how dumb the average person is. And then remember that half of them are dumber than that!

I guess the education system is really struggling ...

(Also his account is satire, right?)

Err... im not sure everyone in this thread is getting the joke?

Small head: He’s proving his point really well.
Big head: He’s proving his point really well.

100% of people who have committed a murder have drunk DiHydrogen Monoxide within the last two weeks, do you feel safe giving this to your children?

But 25% of all American students also scored in the top quartile on standardized tests, so it cancels out!

Normal if true

But at least the healthcare system is quite good: most people have more legs than average

How astute. You're really top of the bell curve.

Are memes just straight screenshots of Twitter now?

This is satire.

This is officially the second dumbest take on the value of a quarter.

I knew a person who thought quarter to six meant 5:35 because "how many cents in a quarter dumbass."

Technically, if everyone gets the full mark, no one will be in the bottom quartile.

If ever a reliable method for measuring actual intelligence rather than IQ is invented I imagine we'll be seeing a somewhat lumpier graph than that smooth mean distribution curve.

Big if true, bruh.

He couldn't be more right. Absolutely appalling.

Refusing to invest in education makes it worse!? shocked Pikachu

It's amazing you used standardized test stats, while I believe the test are part of the problem. When I was in school, you learned the subject, and the standardized test was a decent level. Now, all the subjects are should be called reading comprehension, because that's how they teach. Teachers are held to teach their students how to pass the test. Extra school funds are tied to percentages based on test scores. So they pass out, and teach off of, worksheets that are mirrored off of these test. So they don't teach science, hey teach you to answer the multiple choice questions after reading about science. Everytime my kids bring homework home i ask them if all of their work is like this, this being reading comprehension worksheets, and they say "pretty much".

My brother on christ, that is at best a third, not a quarter
