“You are a god damn moron”

So I frequently go to this Chinese restaurant here and today I see the hostess/ owner lecturing her chubby son on how he couldn’t do basic math ie solve basic word problem involving basic arithmetic ie

We have 9 sheets of paper, we need 22 sheets of paper total, how many more sheets do we need?

There are 60mins in 1 hour, how many hours and minutes are in 70mins

The kid couldn’t do these problems and was crying from being yelled at and punished physically. I feel pity for the kid because I was once in his position.

However, it also seems that the younger generation isn’t that bright….

A pointless reason to punish your kids. Being good at math will not improve your life nearly as much as being good at football.

I don't know the child in question, but if it's a case of dyscalculia, he could still be a bright minded person.
