I agree. I didn’t learn my multiplication tables until I got involved with home schooling and found out that I was learning every bit as much as our kids were learning!
Six years ago I had a hard time making change. Now I can do plenty of calculations in my head that most people my age need a calculator to perform.

Cursive is a dying form. I have to admit I can hardly read it.
But as a Gen Yer, word processing and computer science replaced it in school. It’s a shame because I can’t read what my grandparents wrote in letters.

And ya didn’t even know you were learning to divide at the same time.

Definitely not dying.
Many forms of writing are inherently cursive, too.

Learning this stuff is the key to building a better society — that’s the meaning of the expression “divide and conquer” ... I think.

I learned the same way and wish Texas would pass this same bill, but add addition tables too.

As opposed to the Mexican ploy of multiplying and conquering?

There is nothing the progressives would like more than a world where only specially trained scholars could read the Declaration of Independence or Bill of Rights.

I teach 5th grade math and science. On the first day of school this year, I had exactly two kids out of a total of 46 that knew their multiplication tables by heart. I have about a handful that can read and write in cursive. When I write something in cursive the kids ask me to write it in “English.”

We learned both in 3rd grade.
