I know someone said more or less the same thing when it was posted on Tumblr, but if the schools realize most of their students don't know a thing they should know... Shouldn't they teach it?

its not in their standardized tests and that's the only thing that determines funding. Its a nightmare ...

Apparently it’s literally in the standardised tests… that’s what’s causing the problems! 😉

Yes.

But they don't need to know it. So they stopped teaching it.
