sorry 482 but i think you missed the point or i went the wrong direction with it. but if kids use a calculater in school how in the hell are they going to learn any m,ath. ever go to a story and hand a cashier some extra change to get back a even # of coins or a solid $ bill.they look at it now like why did you give me these exta pennies. or this extra nickel. they can not make change without the register to tell them how much to give. i do it because its fun to watch them go oh shit now what....loland the school system is spending youmoney to teach kids how to push buttons. we will lose in the end.but what im was talkin about is them handing you a note and saying go spend this amount of dollars to get your kid this hi tech gadget that will make him only more dependent on tech. and yes time does change but not always for the better.thats why im having the troubles im having todasy. i hate this world we live in today. i miss the my day. i want to go back. and im going back and no one can stop me. lol
