Once again you've blogged a video that has brought me to tears. I still cannot hear Nickelback's FAR AWAY on the radio without coming to tears because of your blog.

My friend, Adrienne, has been trying to explain to me that her daughter is being taught math in some weird way at her elementary school. Her daughter is hating school right now and doens't easily understand her math class. I never really knew what she was talking about until watching this video. I have nothing against calculators, but I cannot believe the kids are not being taught the basic algorithms for multiplication and division. It's not only sad, but it's infuriating as well.
