By no means conclusive but I would argue indicative! I could also tell you for example that my daughter, who has a 2/1 in Anthropology, can't do long division because she was never taught it.
Perhaps you should have sent her to a better school, my nephew's 9 and he's being taught it.
You miss the point! It wasn't on the syllabus at the time (it was a very good school).
My main point is however that people post things here which demonstrate that they are not familiar with some very simple concepts and I wonder how they have missed them. In the absence of this basic knowledge they are susceptible to being deceived. I have presented some evidence that the education system does not provide this basic knowledge, how else do you explain it?
