True.
Most mothers think their little idiot is the smartest child in the universe.
In reality all children are slowly becoming dumber and dumber, whilst the government keeps up the illusion that they are bright kids.
In O'Bummer world,no kid gets left behind, because they are all as dumb as each  other.
A consensus of morans.

The truth in this comment is staggering. I am 26 years old, very young but in the brief time I have been out of lower education it seems to have changed drastically. My fiancee's 18 year old cousin is dumb as a box of rocks, thinks he's smart as all get out, no ambition to ever leave home or continue school and works part time and complains about it because he can't play on his playstation.

He's a welfare recipient in waiting and it drives me up a wall!

With schools getting worse and worse at actually teaching anything but propaganda parents must pick up the ball. But when the parents are brainless morons there is no one left to help the child. Commence eternal cycle of dependents.

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan told a group of state schools superintendents Friday that he found it “fascinating” that some of the opposition to the Common Core State Standards has come from “white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn’t as brilliant as they thought they were, and their school isn’t quite as good as they thought they were.”
