[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1203965, member: 378"] I did not read the 4 pages, I just skimmed them so I hope I'm on base. I agree 100% we are dumbing down our kids, just try to get one to do a simple division problem with nothing but pencil and paper, say 156 divided by 12....., old school can do it in their head. Try the multiplication table in their head, my favorite job interview question is what is 4x13? They have no calculator, it must be down in their head. I simply ask them to give me the answer to "what is 4x13" and say nothing and only look at them until I get an answer. All it has shown me is our schools are wasting our children's brain ...... If they get the right answer the go to the front of the line, if they snap the right answer quickly we are now in a serious interview, meaning you already made a pay raise.... How good are you? Sad state [/QUOTE]
