[QUOTE="donna723, post: 202016, member: 1883"] They think they don't have to learn it because they have "Spell Check"! When I was in school (back in the Dark Ages) the teachers were very picky about proper spelling, grammar and punctuation. They loved to use those red pencils! I guess they think it doesn't matter now. And we were expected to really [I]learn[/I] how to do math - on paper - with a pencil! And even if there had been little pocket calculators back then, we wouldn't have been allowed to use them! Our kids aren't getting even [I]half[/I] the education that we got. It's a shame. [/QUOTE]
