Doesn't everyone do this?
You may regret pinging me to this article--so many comments, so little space. LOL
Hobbit Lass got her driver's license yesterday. The lass's birthday present got 18.5 mpg on her spiring break overnighter (with Mom chaperoning, of course).
Hobbit Lass has had excellent math teachers. She complains and moans about the amount of homework she gets, but we just laugh at her when she complains. With one exception, her English teachers have been pitiful. A community joke is the night I had a hissy fit in the stand because the cheerleaders were misspelling a cheer. The coach was the English teacher. I am afraid her current English teacher makes that one look like a gem.
I would argue that the ability to construct a coherent sentence is essential for success in life. I would also argue that mathematics is a language, not a science. In fact, it is the language of science.
