Where does beef come from? etc.
 
I've just had my lunch in our works canteen and was amazed to find out that one of our apprentices didn't know that beef came from a cow! The other month I was equally amazed when none of our apprentices knew the difference between the radius, circumferance and diameter of a circle. It makes me wonder what kids are being taught at school. They seen to know very little general knowledge.

Has anyone else be amazed by the lack of knowledge of youngsters (that makes me sound really old!) these days?

Nah kids are fine. I did a network security audit for most of the schools (primary and secondary) in the LEA about three years back. Went in thinking "I've been doing this job for fifteen years, no way are the little feckers going to break through that". Was instantly re-educated in just how cunning, intelligent, logical and educated 12 year olds are when motivated by the prospect of getting pictures of naked people through the proxies and crashing the core switch stack :D

radius = distance from centre of circle to outer edge.
diameter = 2 x radius, the distance from one side to the other side through the centre.
circumference = (Pi)r² = the distance of the outer edge round the circle


:rolleyes:
