Can’t really argue against that.
That’s what dihydrogen monoxide poisoning does to average IQs.
Humanity is doomed, but he’ll never figure out why
We don’t know where else we should put them
I’m OOTL, is @RepJackKimble a satire account? Or an elected fool?
Satire account! Good ask, many people are wholeheartedly ready to eat the onion, even in this age of AI-assisted active disinformation and propaganda.
Sad that we can’t tell anymore.
Poe’s Law has been active for a while, at least in the U.S.
Yes
Okay shit poster
There’s are quartile filled with bottoms?
They prefer to be called power bottoms
Statistically I guess
Shit, we’re on par with Antarcticans.
…which they would take offense to if they could read! Oooooooooo, Antarctica burn!(Sorry McMurdough.)
The penguins took much offense to that
In China, 25% are in the top quartile!!! check mate USA.
The real measure is what percentage of American kids will get the joke?
25%
I had a hard time getting the joke. They mean, “… students are in the bottom quartile,” right?
Twitter… Jack Kimble is a fictional, satirical account.
The first “sentence” starts with a preposition; and, yes, the second isn’t a sentence. It’s more like an interjection, as in, “Behold! 25% of students in the bottom quartile!”
A whopping 25%!
It sure is.
I’m not a big fan of standardized testing, they evolved from a simple tool of measurement quickly into an industry and a political weapon (teaching for the test). But they do provide a glimpse still of the status of education.
If he wanted to show the reality of things, he would have quoted the actual percentages, which show how bad it is. In the SAT 41% are ready for university-level math, 64% for reading and writing (only 13% of them completed the essay part), and the ACT is a huge 29% and 39%, respectively. And that’s just the kids who took these tests.
It’s always been bad. I remember being surprised when I went to college decades ago and there were remedial classes to get students up to university standards because they were coming out of high school not ready.
And a quote from a test provider, Brighterly:
“According to standardized math testing statistics PDF files researched, student performance has worsened since the pandemic and is not improving dramatically.”

We’ve failed our kids. Many times over. All generations.
Standardised tests started as tools to do racism without directly doing racism.
Low test scores in the U.S. actually just measure the fact that it provides roughly the same education to every student instead of what most other countries do and filter students out if their scores aren’t high enough in elementary school.
Clearly the education system failed this man, he has no critical thinking skills and is confident enough about himself to post stupid shit like this.
The education system failed his constituents.
He’s just a grifter.
Is this a woosh or satireception?
It’s Poe’s Law. Nothing is too stupid for MAGA.
Funnily enough, the account’s bio reads “Republican Representing CA’s 54th Dist. & co-sponsor of Poe’s Law.”
Unfortunately, in order to read that I’d have to use a nazi social media platform. Thanks for informing me!
xcancel is your friend! It’s what I used
I assumed he was serious, I’ve seen worse from reps in my state
I also assumed this was serious, untill I read these comments.
Yep, the bar is in hell.
Reminds me of that time a rep near me (thankfully, not mine!) talked about Guam tipping over.
Oh god.
IIRC, they had to explain that the island would not sink due to putting the weight of more troops and equipment on it.
I think the general said something like “No sir, we do not… forsee that happening, no.”
It’s satire. But damning that it’s pretty indistinguishable from real reps.
