I was talking to a public school teacher in this area (Johnson County
Kansas) at a Christmas party about the teaching of math and the "New
Math". She said that the school systems here are actually pulling away
from New Math, using addition and multiplication table memorization
again, and requiring the use of pencils and brains instead of
calculators. It's about time.

I'l give you the big "AMEN" on that. I've interviewed too many "college
graduates" that couldn't read a preface, or balabce their own
checkbooks. How do you tell those people that they're nothing more than
"Educated Morons" ??
