OK. Cheap shot. Sorry.

Generally, I'm in favor of public education. In fact, generally is an understatement. For all kinds of reasons, blah, blah. But the public schools do need to be fixed. For all kinds of reasons. Blah, blah.

Still. I saw a young woman today add 1.04 and 1.50 by first writing the numbers down...

1.04
1.50
...and then reaching for a calculator.

And coming up with 2.50.

So, like I said.

Maybe her calculator didn't have a 4?

I'm with you on public education. It needs to be expanded so all children get an education.
