OMG these poor kids. Hours of teaching what could probably be taught in a fraction of the time. It's like driving through Pennsylvania to Ohio for a beach vacation in New Jersey.
We had a kid who worked with us in the wet mix room at a food plant where I worked. At the end of the run we only needed a partial batch. The guy working with me told the kid to figure the amounts we needed. He was given a paper and pencil. He told the kid to do this while he did something else which needed to be done. Unbeknownst to this kid my coworker already made up the partial batch before this genius could come up with the amounts needed. And my coworker did it all in his head.
Is it any wonder then why our schools are behind nearly every other developed country?
To add a little extra burn to this story, nearly all the equipment we were using was engineered and manufactured in other countries.
