Btw i wonder how you define 'idiot'. I mean what about a guy that isn't exactly very sharp, but he can do wonderfull things with his hands and builds furniture. Now he might not be 'intelligent' as in IQ-wise but he is by no means an idiot right? You have to use your talents .. (suddenly got to think about the bible now, it's way too early this morning).
Anyway: the problems i see with most kids is when they're in some study that doesn't suit them, they are demotivated, not interested in a thing (maybe drinking and msn dunno) and honestly i don't see much good coming out of them. So it's just a waste.

Before I came to Bulgaria to study, I worked with kids for years. It was about school choir and solo singers. Every year there were less and less talents. Not sure how it is today, but I heard teachers complain it is much much worse than it was. I can't imagine it.
Vocabulary of young people sucks here too. They are FULL of slang words that only they can understand and so on, but are missing words like "triangle", "idea", "pen"... and if you serve them a sentence that is longer than 10-15 words, prepare to have to simplify it if you want to be understood. Allusions, metaphors, and that stuff?? Don't even try.
I even experienced a girl (about '94 generation) who tried to LEARN the table of adding. Yes, the table of adding. She was asking me and different people "How much is 1+10", "How much is 1+12" etc. After she get an answer she would write it down on a paper. The most irritating thing about it is that every day she had a new paper and asked people the same questions. And besides that she was a normal person with even more logical thinking than most of people (people who "get" adding).
I mean... no way of settling her in some institution that has to deal with retards. No way to make her get damn adding. Dead position in chess.I just don't get what's wrong with all those generations. Global brainwash?
