cries in American public education and lack of using brain as an adult
Yeah, blame THEM. Of course despicable THEY never told poor schoolchildren how the generator/electric engine works. I totally believe you. I believe you even more deeply than I believe to your president.
Huh? Should we not be blaming the shitty US education system for failing so many?
I doubt that it is THAT bad.
Oh, it's very very bad.
The basic stuff you're mentioning about electricity is not taught in US highschools (I can't speak to AP classes).
The only reason I know any of it is because I took physics in college
Sorry, but I don't believe you. There is no way that USA school curriculum lacks basic things like Ohm law, magnetism, etc. It just can't be. Yes, I heard that in the USA curriculum isn't country-wide, so it might change from state to state, but not to this nonsensical degree.
I don't even think every high school student here even takes Physics class.
I didn't learn about electromagnetism until Physics 200 in University.
