    After they gut the department of education, even turning on a laptop will be a tall order. (you're ahead of the curve Baron!)
    hopefully they can still open a bible or at least attend a mega-church where they can learn about satan planting dinosaur bones to test your faith.

    side note my son is looking into some US schools for soccer and he was informed that Canadian kids don't have to write SATs and that a 4.0 GPA in the US is a 2.7 equivalent in the Canada. nuts.

    I guess those jimmy Kimmel videos asking Americans to find the US on a map are accurate after all. sigh.

    • yeah still percentage, just the yanks use GPA so we need to convert our percentages to their system when applying._niko
    • Aaah. Yes.
      Backwards units of measure, backwards grading system.      Continuity
    • so in the US 93% and above is 4.0 whereas in Canada all you need is 80% and above to match a US 4.0_niko
    • and I'm not glorifying the Canadian education system or anything because what would a 4.0 for a Japanese or Chinese or Indian kid be? 32%? lol_niko
