Re: 75 Percent of Oklahoma High School Students Can't Name the First President of the
I will grant you that some kids were fx..ing around with the polsters I have done that. I never give them my real income I just multiply it by 100.
Yet I will say that the survey is close in the general results. When I was still working in the corporate world as an auditor I asked a claim processor to gwt me their instruction files on how they handle foreign claims and the girl/woman sent me their files for New Mexico, Peurto Rico, US Vergin Islands and then I almost fell out of my chair when I say hawaii included in her collection of there thar ferrin procedure files.
No, I'm writing it off as high school kids don't give a **** and don't care about answering phone surveys about boring ****.
I'm also loath to believe these results when the organization commissioning the polls was very clearly seeking this exact result.
Look at some of the responses:
Here's the things that immediately pop into mind:
-"I don't know" is pretty much the most popular answer. I would bet that's due to kids not really giving a **** about the survey.
-Many kids were obviously just ****ing with the pollsters. Do you think that kids actually believed that Michael Jackson wrote the Declaration of Independence? Or that a full 10% of the state believes that the first president was GWB or Obama?
-Some of the questions are just plain wrong - The governor is the head of a executive branch.
I say the same thing every time someone comes out with one of these "omg our youth are so dumb!!!!111" surveys. The secret truth that olds don't want you to know is that despite all this, today's youth are by and large significantly smarter and more talented than any previous generation.
