Canada is smarter than the US

[Pitkanen]

US educational averages are brought down by high poverty areas, that we as a country have basically written off. Basically, even though educators and politicians know that high poverty schools spend a huge chunk of their budget on dealing with poverty related issues, we don't actually adjust funding to compensate so they have significantly less to actual do the actual education. Net result is that we have a large chunk of poorly educated people that sinks the average.

Mother fucker I have been defeated.

Don't worry, you still have handegg.

[Tradewind]

Really? Aussies and Kiwis usually seem like cunts, but really funny cunts who you can't help but love.

We're cunts too

The last bit is important. We're cunts and then we apologize for it.

I like how Maths is the defining pinnacle of intelligence on that link. Bullshit if you ask me, I'd rather enjoy my life than become a slave to education, like in Asian countries.

Another thing to note is that different jobs require different degrees of study.

Eh, most careers are usually considered to use STEM degrees.

book smarts does not equate to street smarts.

it's not hard to memorize a book.

i've seen plenty of book smart people get put to shame on a professional level by someone who had not even close to the same level of schooling.

Common sense trumps all, experience after that, schooling after that.

Additionally, technical fields rely much more on schooling than non-technical ones. Business management is more about planning and efficient workforce use etc... which can be considered common sense, Civil Engineering is technical, common sense wont get you very far without training.
