As a person educated in the American system I can confirm I've never heard the word quartile before.
If you are in school now because it’s part of the common core 6th grade standards.
I haven't been in school for a long time. I'll ask my son, he's 17 just for shits and giggles.
It amazes me, and if you are in school it will amaze you later in life, how much more kids are expected to know and how early they learn it.
Well... Assuming America doesn't completely tank education soon. That isn't a jab at a political party either. We've never really supported education, we've never made it a priority, we've never paid teachers well.
My parents were both dedicated teachers, I've seen the work involved. I make more than teachers do as a store manager. I work ridiculously hard for my pay as well but my point is that it's not nearly as important as teachers.
So that's my point. We've never put much effort into education but children today are far more advanced than children of my generation.
Imagine what we could accomplish if our society DID value education. What we could accomplish in a single generation.
