Subject: helping stepdaughter with homework


ncil
was helping the 8th grade stepdaughter with her math homework tonight and it amazes me that she had no idea how to multiply larger numbers for instance 14x7 to find a least common denominator. when i asked how she could not know that she said you don't have to you just punch the numbers into the calculator and it gives you the answer. unreal!!!! when i was in school i am not saying we couldn't use calculators but we always had to know how to come up with the answer with a pencil and brain first before the teacher would let us use one. just wondering what other parents are seeing
