Hello: During the recent discussion here I don't believe anyone touched on something that bothers me a lot...In the USA schools today children are not required to memorize the multiplication tables and are instead given calculators to aid in doing their "figuring"...This goes on all through school and the result is that kids graduate from high school unable to answer a simple question like "What is 9x9?"...In the same vein they are also not teaching cursive writing and depend entirely on computers to write anything...Where will these kids be when their machines fail them?...We are raising a generation that can't read, write or "cipher"...What kind of "education" is that?...Doesn't make any sense to this old man!...(But then, what does "make sense" this day and age?)...
