that is true- They say ‘math is racist’, and kids today really do have a hard time counting because they aren’t taught, or are graded on a curve- - used to be cashiers could add in their heads without using the box to tell them how much change- but even at that, they still mess up adding together how many dimes quarters etc are needed- i give a cashier a $20 and 37 cents when i want a dollar back instead of a coin change, when the bill is $19.63 and they look at me like I’ve lost my mind- they usually say “You gave me too much’ lol
