We all know confidently incorrect people. People displaying dunning-kruger. The majority of those people have low education and without someone giving them objectively true feedback on their opinions through their developmental years, they start to believe everything they think is true even without evidence.

Memorizing facts, dates, and formulas aren’t what necessarily makes someone intelligent. It’s the ability to second guess yourself and have an appropriate amount of confidence relative to your knowledge that is a sign of intelligence.

I could be wrong though.

        okay, your speech is littered with Sibboleths. no one who knows anything about the English language believes you know anything about education in the United States as you have never lived there and at best taken a brief holiday. please find better hobbies.

          If you read the article you’ll find the U.S. has been falling behind in English as well 😂

          Maths education is a profession of mine, not a hobby
