I see you failed to learn nuance in your schooling.

The experience from 20 years ago is that all of these people instantly forgot everything they learned and complained that they were never taught it. I don't think you understand the problem here.

Considering I learned how to type from playing RuneScape, not from the 4 separate typing classes they put us through, I don't really think most students would learn tech literacy from public education if they teach I or not. Look at the people complaining that no one taught them how to do their taxes dispute the mathematics required do your taxes being taught to 100% of the US population before they enter high school. It's not the education system, kids don't care. The only fix is to kake the kids care, but if you just push them through regardless of their qualifications for the next classes, no one cares if they fail. People would benefit a lot from learning how video games retain players because it's exactly the same philosophy behind policies like no child left behind. They give out rewards to everyone regualrdless of performance or difficulty of content and people become complacent and comfortable. Unless you give incentive for progression, in this case probably the pressure of not going to the next grade with your peers, everyone will find a spot to spin their tires and do so until they run out of gas or the tire explodes. Meritocracies might not be perfect, but they're core to a proper education system.

I had a class in 2nd grade back in like 2002 that taught us about how to spot fake websites, what TLDs meant, and witch ones we could probably trust. One of the examples was a fake site made either as a joke or for these kinds of lectures about tree squids. It was photoshopped octopuses high up in a tree. As with everything in the education system, it's not that theyre not being taught these skills, the students are not interested in learning them. There are classes that taught me things that people who sat next to me in those classes denied beging taught.

The comments are why most people go there. It's the major differentiator from other social media platforms. Holding a conversation on Reddit is much clearer than any other site. If YouTube has comments like reddit it would be a very interesting change to a lot of content that goes on Reddit at the moment.

Okay, and then you get fined for violating your franchise contract that requires you use these machines.

Samsung literally just had an SSD drama with their recent drives burning through write cycles and killing the drive.

Clearly it should have drawn Mr Miyagi.

Well, it's being replaced with individual placement testing. It's not exactly much better, though the insane format being gone is probably an improvement.

The test are not mandatory to graduate high school, but most colleges require an SAT or some equivalent to get past the application. The SAT is falling out of favor though.

Just hope the landlord has a lawyer who's dumb as dirt.
