Have you seen flower math? They were teaching kids at my school how to divide and multiply using a flower array (which took forever to draw) instead of a the traditional lay out they would be using for the rest of their lives in Algebra.

I can't say that I have. I don't think that stuff has been inflicted on my kids. Either that, or I'm teaching them a better way to do things when I help them.

Yeah that's some common core shit isn't it? They're focusing on visual learners now

I'm at the point where if it sounds stupid, I just assume it's common core.

Yeah, I was homeschooled thankfully, so I got the classical education.

In Washington, homeschooled students are required to pass 11 subjects, public school kids only have 8 subjects in common core, so a rounder education was great.

Heck, they fired a teacher at a local school because she was teaching handwriting after they finished the core part of the English course for the day because handwriting is not a part of common core and considered a waste.

Apparently when I was in school, they told my mom that teaching handwriting wasn't important, because everyone would write on computers, which was stupid even for the nineties.

I use handwriting today as part of secretarial work.

It's certainly not an un-needed skill.

Although soon I think it will be rare enough that "Fluent in cursive" may become a qualification on folks' linkedin.

"able to read cursive" is supposedly already a thing

If "able to write cursive" is also a thing, I need to update my resume.

Unless writing where someone other than me can read it is required.

Or rather, it's at least a boomer meme that you can write things in cursive and the youths won't be able to read it

One of my room-mates has to ask me to read anything that is in cursive.

So looked at a brochure for Rbc or known as Royal bank of Canada. There is a grammar error.

Where the commas at?

Is there anyone out there that still has feels a hint of respect for Boogie? If so, why?

No @Beemann there is a word in there that doesn’t make sense to have.

Which?

Nevermind my mind was reading it wrong. I though it was wrong for not having “ ‘and’ visit any rbc banking sitar’s they have is visit us

Ah yeah

No it all works as long as you add commas

I can't help but think "all you need to open a. . ." would read better than "to do to open"

Which I do not see at all. The part “account with us is visit any rbc” now seems wrong again

@wolfman1911 Its hard to respect someone who doesn't respect themselves.

That's certainly true

Saw him pop up in the quartering's new video.

"All you need to do to open an account, is visit any RBC"

Commas

No commas required.

If you hate sentence flow, sure. The full sentence is 3 lines

*"Required."*

This escalated quickly...
