Yes, that was a waste of time. Plus, some people’s cursive can be really hard to

Cursive should be taught so we can read older writings.

naw, just write a program to scan it and translate it to real letters

Now they can’t read cursive

Fortunately, they don’t teach this at all anymore

7/19/21 9:59am

That you were important and special

7/19/21 7:43am

You just evolved the wrong way.

MrClark

That math is everywhere and you’ll use it in every job.

That we'd all be using the metric system

7/19/21 8:12am

We should be. Some of us do regularly, just not completely.

Why though? Fractions are much more practical than an exact decimal

CougieMcCougFace

But why does that matter?

You're not making a real point
