My son in college didn’t know how to address and mail a letter.

I had to work with a woman last year who at 28 years old and holding an MBA could not fill out a check properly. I’ve never seen someone screw up a single check in four different ways but she managed it - signature on the memo line, amount written in the payable to line, different amount written in the numerical amount box, and payee’s name not on the check at all.

Yes, this was an MBA holder and a check was too complicated for her to figure out.

I was talking to my wife the other day about how we were taught how to write a letter and address the envelope in fourth grade.

By the tenth grade we could balance a checkbook.

I wonder what exactly do they teach these days besides how to be gay and how to love muslims.
