CORRELATION, CAUSATION OR IKEA?

Muslims now make up 5% of Sweden’s population. It is forecasted to rise to 10% over the next 15 years. It seems their test scores began to fall as the number of Muslims began to rise. Coincidence? Or is IKEA to blame?

STOCKHOLM (AP) — An international report says Sweden needs to urgently address the declining performance of its schools, a growing embarrassment for the Scandinavian welfare state.

Swedes are used to seeing their nation rank near the top in international surveys on everything from quality of life to economic competitiveness.

But the performance of Swedish students in an international test for 15-year-olds has plunged in the past decade from average to significantly below average.

In a report handed to the Swedish government on Monday, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development urged Sweden to “urgently reform” its school system.

Its proposals included raising the status — and salaries — of teachers, placing higher expectations on students and improving the integration of immigrants, who on average score lower than native students.

We need to tell Swedes that the problem is not the amount of money spent on schools. The problem with their schools is that they teach diversity,deviancy and other suicidal progressive shit. It will be interesting to see the clash of queers and Mohammedans.

The problem is ‘smart phones’ and the time kids spend on them instead of doing their work. It isn’t Ikea or Muslims. It is worldwide and across all affluent cultures.

I would expect Muslims in Sweden to be completely unimpressed by the fact that their children are not doing well on a test devised by people who are too stupid to reproduce.

Paulo, Homework’s overrated, in my opinion. Back in my day, we didn’t have nearly as much homework as my kids do. We learned plenty, especially because most learning comes from just being around smart & articulate people. If the Muslims were so smart, they’d have accomplished something other than raping and pillaging in the 1,200 years after inventing the zero.
