[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been a professional for over 20 years and I have never once had to mail a letter for work.[/quote] Same, but I have [i]seen[/i] mail. I've received it. I've seen movies where people look at addresses on envelopes. It's not plausible the kid didn't know, in the abstract, that envelopes need addresses. He or she just wasn't engaging the brain on that task. [/quote] Np. Yes, but it's also possible the kid asked "how do I mail this" and someone said "just put it in an envelope" and the kid though that was the first step, and the address would be added later, along with the postage, since most offices don't use stamps. You don't know what you don't know. But really the main issue is that it's a generational thing. My kids struggle to read cursive. But do they help me with all my tech? Yes, they do. I agree with OP about work ethic, but the letter example is just silly.[/quote]
