New Math

[Burbert]

No I learned the old, old, old way. 2 x 2
= 4. a b = c. I created Sam McGee.
Etc., etc. Strappings, humiliation, stand
in the corner, fat kid, typing, bookeeping
shi*. Those was the bad ole days. Today
the children are sooooooo much smarter
than our generation. The only exception
wood by the modern day framer, who for the
most part is dumber than a fence post!!!!

And
Burbert, whilst in the corner, did you
text your friends? Or memorize the lords
prayer? ha ha

Did you and your friends compete for the
latest and greatest gaming system? Or
did you alls compete out on the
trapline, seeing whos couldest catcheth
the most coyotes or foxes?

I strangely know what you mean. lol

JDGreen, the NEW MATH in SK is all suppose to related to input and output, just like a computer, or pocket calculator. It was explained to us that if the kids know what to input, they don't need to know how to get to the output.

It took awhile for our son, but he's progressing somewhat, but even with a university degree, I find it confusing as all crap. Its like our parents learning the metric system.
