<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 927414, member: 23626&quot;]Chris, by younger generation, I mean under 45. LOL Seriously, we are not teaching people to think on their feet. When I graduated in 1964 from High school, we were required to be able to make change at a cash register, mark a ballot, count to 10 without using your fingers, know who the President was and how many stripes are on the flag. Basic knowledge is waning along with the thinking process. A calculator might be a necessity today, but how many can do square root in longhand like we were taught ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know, we do not need to do the math longhand, but by not practicing it, the logical thought process gets lost.We were taught how to identify a problem, then solve it. If you don&#039;t use the brain, you lose the brain. As you pointed out, the woman was an instructor for cryin&#039; out loud ! These guys are gonna be in charge ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
