      Feels like they polled an elementary school in Jersey

      You mean the state with the highest ranked Pre-K-12 by US News and World Report? That Jersey?

        Not even relevant. Kids are stupid about scope at this age regardless of location. Jersey would explain the perspective disproportion of the NYC stat, which is a major outlier in the set while fitting the rest of the patterns well. Fa get abo dit

          How was that not relevant? lol… you made a joke about kids in Jersey elementary schools being dumb, and I showed the stat that says it’s actually #1 in the nation.

          Seems relevant to me.
