Y...Genelle, I understand where you are coming from. Ya know we have our grandaughter living with us and she is 13....I can't do her math. They teach it a completely different way than I learned. We are lucky she does well in school and doesn't need much help from us. This is the 3rd year she has been with us.,an 8th grader...high school next year....I just hope she keeps doing well and understands things well, or we would be going back to school. Talk about feeling older than dirt...haha....... I remember short hand in high school,,,,not used at all....texting has its own shorthand.. They do have sex education which I think is important, but I think they should include the fake babies in that class.Sharon Sheetsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204942171574599280.post-13352717317898239762010-10-16T22:23:53.797-07:002010-10-16T22:23:53.797-07:00Hahaha, oh the books.

I knew there was another one that drives me nuts! <br />And Becky, I completely agree about personal finance! That actually was a required class when I was a senior.Genellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08476356716619935798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204942171574599280.post-54631077508797260172010-10-16T14:10:19.850-07:002010-10-16T14:10:19.850-07:00Oh, the English problems.

All these tricky English grammar issues can be solved by READING BOOKS. Yikes.<br /><br />And I definitely wish we'd had those crying fake babies when we were in high school. I think those might be the greatest invention ever.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765157036858382041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204942171574599280.post-6194578672019951832010-10-16T13:14:24.826-07:002010-10-16T13:14:24.826-07:00Love this.

My husband doesn't spell very well, but if he's unsure he asks for help instead of just looking like an idiot. Also, basic car care is good to know. I did take auto shop and it was kind of fun. In high school one class I did take and highly reccommend was how to balance a check book and budget your money. Believe it or nor, this was not a required class. Trust me, it should be. I learned many very valuable life lessons that I can't believe people still don't know. I couldn't remember algebrae if my life depended on it, but I can still balance a check book and budget our money so that our bills are paid...on time! Also, some basic cooking and cleaning would be nice. Stuff that will actualy help you through the day to day of life. I didn't learn how to iron a shirt until this year. (yes it's true, I had to ask my MIL for instructions) This would have been nice to know long ago, but I don't remember a single thing in chemistry and I took it in college too. <br />Good Blog article Genelle!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236555724572724060noreply@blogger.com
