Education has been declined since 1944. When they started desegregation, especially in the South, they couldn't put smart kids in one class and the not-so-smart kids in another class, because there would be segregation. So people who could educate themselves did well, and if you couldn't, you just learned the same thing year after year. In the South, they were so scared of segregating students, you could make straight Fs and they would still pass to the next grade until you were old enough to drop out. I was bored last night, so I decided to calculate the expected number. Banner 5 stars he'll roll after getting n 5 stars, and Fn equals 1 half Fn minus 1 plus 1 half Fn minus 2 plus 1 with F0 equals 0 and F1 equals 0.5. The closed form is Fn equals 1 9th plus 1 9th minus 0.5 to the power of n plus 2 n 3rd. A funny observation is that as n approaches infinity, the ratio n Fn approaches 1.5. So over a long period of time, you're expected to have twice as many banner 5 stars as standard 5 stars. This feels immediately obvious, sob.
