Y’all…

I had to go to FB to find out about fireworks tonight due to a passing rain storm. I haven’t been on FB in a long, long time.

There are people posting elementary school math problems and adults are arguing about the answers.

What is happening to this world? Did people forget how to do basic arithmetic?

@jerry well it’s a reference to one of the Incredibles movies. But kids are now taught to do multiplication and division with different methods, and they have to show their work. So adults trying to help with the way they we’re taught would get marked down.

@JosephMenn @jerry My dad, born 1932, said the same thing when I was learning division.

At least we did multiplication the same.
