One of our youngsters at work is doing a 2 year class to get some job at boeing and asked me about a math problem he was having trouble solving even though he was given the answer. He gave me the problem and I ran it through the math I was taught in school 50 years ago, no paper and pencil or calculator, spit out the answer 10 seconds later. Thank God my son got out of school before all this [Bleeeeep!] they call education today became the standard. He took a software testing class at the U W extension in Bothell, did a couple of temp jobs, his boss at Microsoft liked him and got him set up for interviews. He now has 35 employees he is responsible for. I doubt with the least common denominator education system we have today that would have happened.
