[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Let me see, kids don't need to learn to multiply because they can use a calculator, they don't need to learn to spell because they use spell-check, they don't need to learn to write because they can type on a keyboard, they don't need to speak because they can text. What exactly do they need to learn to do? I think we have a whole generation (of Americans) who are seriously fucked the first time the power goes out or they run out of batteries.[/quote]

Well said...the entitlement and dependency generation.

No, they should play and have fun.  Everything else is torture and abuse.

Actually these are the kids that invented the Internet and your precious iPad. These kids were constantly failing in school but showed up anyway because they understood that not being able to spell or learn phonics was not going to stop them. Yes they need spell check but they make your email work because when your write computer code you better get it right but it is not like english it actually make sense..

Their friends who are patted on their head for the 15 minutes of homework they do because and their straight A's are dropping out of college at an alarming rate because they actually have to work and sometimes fail and they can't handle it.[/quote]
