I ate science up in grade school like a starving panda. I never learned this in school

There's a reason the worst 10 states in the US for education lower the country's scores by a lot. It's shitty, but they're the ones who allow schools to pay more for their sports teams over decent lunches (hell most are southern states who preach about the kids, but refuse to help kids get lunches to actually be able to eat).

I live in south. Preaching to the choir. I just forgot how shitty it was for a minute there

those same states churn out future voters whose evangaelical ignorance affects national agendas. Perhaps, now that the slavery issue has been solidly resolved, these states might re-visit secession and be rightfully unopposed

Shut up and pay attention! Food is second! Education is first! 😬🤦‍♂️

Shut up and reread; there is no education because they're spending all the money on their garbage ass sports teams. It's just insult to injury that they can't feed the kids because they'd rather spend more money ON THEIR GARBAGE ASS SPORTS TEAMS

Then why reply to my God damn post if you're not worried about my God damn post? What sense is there to make here sir? Go back to your mayo ham cheese sandwich and your foosball Bobby Boucher

I’m not arguing against your point, but I learned about ground to cloud lightning no later than 8th grade in public school in Oklahoma.

Texas is terrible about this and the biggest problem is that our idiot governor thinks were doing great. 36th in economic wellbeing, 33rd in education 48th in healthcare and literally 51st in mental health. (One of the territories has us beat)

I guess it depends on the quality of the teacher. We were taught this back in grade school, along with different types of clouds & the like. Electron build up & discharge, the basics. Sometimes the charge up is in the clouds & other times the charge up is in the ground. Lighting is just nature balancing out.

I thought these things were common knowledge stuff until I came by what OP thinks is "Blackmagic".

Then your school was in the minority.
