I don’t think thats true. A lot of western schools have made calculators a requirement for math in order to make it easier for kids. They are dumber in the aspect that they can’t do anything really hard and education is getting easier and easier for kids.
I had a friend who came back from America and she had an awful time adjusting because in Japan you actually had to study.

Sure there are kids who are smart but I don’t think they are a majority and those who were smart usually put the effort outside of school.

I have not read the whole thread,but this thing about calculators is actually true.I once read an article about it how kids who do not have calculators are always better at maths as compared to those who use it.
When I was in school,calculators were prohibited and only allowed in grade 9 & 10 for special calculations like trigonometry etc.My 10 years younger sister,went to the same school,had an early access to calculators both at home & school,and today even after years of not studying or doing any sort of maths,I can do way better mental calculations and all.

Technology is good and keeping up to date with it is a requirement.But this has for sure come at a cost..!
