As a person who works in education, I am appalled by the lack of math skills in the kids today! I have 8th graders who cannot do long division! Adding fractions? And when it comes to proper spelling...Fergit it! We are raising a generation of uneducated sheep! (Of course, from a government's point of view, sheep are so much easier to lead, fleece and slaughter- so it's all good- for them.) Get educated! Don't depend on the schools to teach you what you need. Read, learn and survive!
