seriously, I've been noting this over the many years, probably since computers became a part of our lives, and I believe you'll agree....
I have a tendency to observe a lot, and think a lot...love watching people....and of course, remembering how things used to be. Change is important, and inevitable, but unfortunately people forget, I've seen that in these forums, or, they are uninformed....including myself....
What I've noted is, during dealings with customer service departments on many levels, that we are less accurate now in our book keeping, then ever before.
Accuracy doesn't seem to be a concern any longer....which years ago, if you were not accurate, you were fired, with no compensation...which gave employees something more to think about when it came to job performance and loyalty to the job.
what seems to have taken place within many companies in the U.S. is the fear of law suits....therefore, it takes companies a very long time to collect details of work ethics or should I say, non-ethics. Seems companies have a tendency to reward bad behavior....I see this within my own company. Corruption is seeping thru the cracks on all levels...of our society.
There are two girls within our company that are chronically defiant of rules...they believe rules do not apply to them...and when confronted about it, they spaz out and make threats...HR services are unable to control them or do anything, and neither are our union leaders. They were walked out once b/c of their behavior and hired back? So, because of their bad behavior, (they take off constantly) the whole group of us are penalized. Why? Because HR fears making decisions...and making examples of them....by firing them....???? This causes ineficency....b/c others that might be border line offenders, now say, "Why should I care, rules don't apply to me either". Can you see the importance of rules and ensuring they are not only put in place, but keeping them effective and working properly.
A definciency in Problem-solving isn't just isolated to technolgical fields, but also, with personal skills. We are unable to look at the long term effects of a decisions and assess both negative and positive outcomes preparing for them both.
When you cause the slightest flaw, within any system, that involves a group of people, it's like a trickle down effect. One tiny little rule within the company, is ignored, and then another, and another and over a period of years....as more rules are ignored, inefficent ways of doing business stagnates growth.
The same with education, and any other part of our society....and it's been happening over the last 50 years, within every aspect of our systems. We hire people on race, rather then who is more qualified for the position? Its not working....period! It is actually breaking down society....
What is fair is fair, if you want the job you'd better be the best qualified candidate, regardless....b/c it's not working this way.
here is a better example
years ago, I worked construction, and of course, you had to hire a certain percentage of ethnic businesses....we were building roads...and like building a home, it is extremely time sensitive....after one group of workers comes in, they ready the job for another group, and the completion of that work depends on them showing up on the job when they are supposed to. Well, we had this one group of workers who were of another race, who would never show up when they were supposed to, never call, never answer calls, etc. It just doesn't work, period.
Oh my, I could go on and one, but I'm sure you understand and see, how America has been going down....big time....and we haven't even touched base on greed....
So, yes indeed, you are correct and these tests are correct....intellectual skills are declining....I can't even spell....and this common core business is a joke...lets get back to teaching kids how to problem solve and envision the long term effects of any decission and though process. Poverty is caused by the lack of intellect, and rewarded by giving people no reason to work.
Do you see how the trickle down effect takes over in many small ways, but over time, it effects everything.
Like for instance, a small amount of water, can do a heck of a lot of damage over a long period of time...
We are that small amount of water....
Trump I believe, sees this, and wears it very heavily, b/c as long as this continues, regardless of how hard he worked, this is certainly going to affect the lives of his grand kids.....
