This high tech world we now live in is truly ruining our children in school. I am a retired First Grade teacher and retired in 2004. A few years before retirement, our brilliant state legislators and educators decided that Handwriting and Spelling were no long necessary as part of the curriculum, how sad. When tutoring after retirement, many of my 4th and 5th grade students did not even know how to write their name or write anything else. They could print whatever they wanted, but could not write it in cursive handwriting. So many could not spell anything either. I suppose Math and Reading will be next. Sorry will not step down from my "Soap Box."
By the way (BTW) I don't like abbreviations either. |
Out to Lunch? Organize the Library? Off to London? Oval Tipped Lace? Orange Tiled Laundry? Oxyclean The Linen? Our True Love? Only the Lonely? Open the Lever? Occupational Therapy Lady? Odd Trapping Lure? Observe Top Level?
Oinks too Loud? Often the Last? Original Thread Line? Overlap the Length? Outsmart the Lizard? Override the Legend? |

It's not manuscript and it's not cursive...barely legible (if at all)! I think the math will be next because, as it is, the computers and calculators have taken over. Just before I retired, math textbooks came with a calculator per book. Well I put them in the closet and taught my students addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division fact. We did take the little gizmos out to learn to use them and practice, but not before the "old fashioned fact" were memorized. I know there are a lot to be said about automation and the world of electronics, but there is a lot to be said about whatever you don't use, you lose. Brains are getting mushy-er and mushy-er. I will stay up on my soapbox as long as I have my sanity.:p

This is so sad. I get so tired of grocery people laying my change on the receipt and handing all of it to me. They can't count change either. You have to watch your change, and count it right there. I had a Sonic guy make wrong change to me not long ago. Everyone needs to stay on the soapbox!

Well, I am still teaching HS and I try very hard to teach my students to read a clock(not digital), set an oven timer, balance a checkbook, make a budget, apply for a job on "an old fashion" paper application, make a (healthy) grocery list, did I say "boil" water?
Yes, I teach Family and Consumer Science and it is a "trying" job but I strive everyday to make my students understand that they need every day skills to live in life ahead. I hope they will someday appreciate my lessons. Keep all teachers in your prayers because we need daily prayers.... Ging |
any pattern that shows abbreviations should also include what they mean somewhere in the directions. most irritating!
