To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
That's a good list, but those are 32 BIG items that would take a long time to learn.

I don't know of any "child", not even in scouting, with this breadth of knowledge.

I was a Life scout and spent four years in the Army. I'm probably at 60%-70% for this list.

Second glance...I'm at about 90%...still a big list for a child.

Don’t feel bad. The students that I see cannot even add numbers in their head or on paper. They need a calculator. Oh yeah, they CANNOT read an analog clock. They need a digital clock to tell them the time. They can’t spend 5 minutes without some sort of electronic entertainment. They have completely lost the art of sitting still and having patience—everything has to be NOW. I have my doubts about their survival skills.
