My wife is actually better at math than I am

Same distribution in my family. ;) However, he did suffer from poor preparation in high school. Proving your basic point that education is letting our kids down -- both boys and girls.

Weelll, I "could" plead the same excuse. I went to a little old rural school in south Louisiana, while my wife went to private Catholic schools in the "big city". Kind of a double advantage on her part--the Catholic brothers and sisters weren't disadvantaged by "popular education theories"--they used what worked--enforcement of discipline and practice drill, drill, drill.
