I was told by my neighbours who have kids in school that schools all across Canada have ceased failing anyone for any reason for the last decade or so. Government directive they were told. Kids are no longer taught what we were taught back in the 50's/60's/70's. Over 90% of kids can't do simple math because they are not taught it. Nowadays they are pushed through to the next level regardless if they failed multiple tests. My neighbour said it's disgusting how they teach today because his son had failed 3 geography classes, 4 English classes, 8 math classes & yet he still progressed to the next grades & still gets B+ report cards even with all his failures over several grades.
 
No wonder why kids have no clue about computers or simple common sense things in life. 90% of forum posts throughout the web are filled with posts by IDIOT kids/adults that can't use simple grammar  to complete a proper sentence. I see it on these forums as well. Typical uneducated people posting without double checking their posts first :o)

Sure enough Kevinc313, I have still met tons of kids/teenagers/adults over many years that break the mould & are far above the norm. It's just a shame that the current educational system is no longer like it was several decades ago. I wish they would fire the entire scholastic administration personnel & insert more competent ones in that actually care about proper teaching our youth. Our youth are our future & should never be undermined.

Too busy teaching 'diversity', "PC" (not Personal Computer) and "Don't offend anyone but the right" culture
to teach real information and things that actually matter.

 
We have a winner here!

It's called EQUITY, where everyone is brought down to the lowest common denominator in order to make sure nobody has their feelings hurt for failing. Remember, there is no such thing as failing now - it's 'deferred success' ...lmao.

Lotta dumb boomer responses in here. It has ZERO to do with political correctness, "woke" culture, trans rights, or any of that other crap you losers are posting about. It comes down to the availability and teachability of knowledge to be disseminated to the next generation.

Kids don't know about how computers work these days because there's no desire to know; until it breaks; most parents (you know, your generation) would rather just replace said broken item rather than repair it and teach them something about how it's done.
 
Just like how most didn't know how tapes or CDs worked in generations prior...
If there's enough desire to know, and enough tax revenue to fully fund schools these days, there'd be courses offering electrical engineering, programming, and computer science. So unless they actively seek out the answers to these things, there's very little resources available in the way of formal education to them.

Again, this is not a failure of their generation as it is as much as it is for the generations prior who continue to take away said resources and school programs through cutting funding and taxes.

The education system in some areas is subpar.  Throwing more money at a deficient system usually doesn't solve the base problems.
