OMG - I understand now!!

A local columnist, Neal Boortz (America's Rude Awakening - or one of the smartest and snarkiest talk show people around - today explained my students to me.

I begin to see how they think they should have an A on a test of Algebra 2 concepts when they are unable to preform elementary school arithmetic or realize they need a calculator to add 2 numbers.

Repeat after me: “Dunning-Kruger effect.”

Now I understand and I can move on to other things.

Glad I could help.

PS It explains my administration also.
