Parents are supposed to know more than their young children.That isn’t the case when it comes to STEM (science,technology, engineering, math) topics.

A group of parents with kids between the ages of five and 13 years-old took part in this research. Incredibly, a third admit that the very thought of having to answer a STEM-related question for their kids leaves them feeling ill.The survey reports that 48 percent of parents don’t even know what“STEM” stands for.
Half the poll say their children know more about science than they do. A similar number of moms and dads say the same regarding technology, engineering, and math.
