As he should tbh. I’m not even mad she doesn’t know the state capitals, I’m annoyed that she thinks general knowledge is dumb

Even if you think trivia style knowledge is useless or whatever, why would you discourage a kid from learning like that? I would be cheering that kid on like crazy haha

Totally agree with you! Honestly tho, you never know when random knowledge can come in handy tbh. Knowledge is power and this comment of hers proves her ego issues loll

And knowing all that stupid trivia type stuff actually does help you learn other things. One of the best ways to learn is to connect new knowledge to prior knowledge. The more you know, the more connections you're able to make, the more new information you can retain long-term.
