What I find very sad today is that people don't seem to be able to enjoy silence, quite time.
There has to be some noice coming from somewhere, all the time!
It is like people can not tolerate their own thoughts coming in even for a minute.

I remember at work a bunch of us had a nice conversation going.
Then..........a lull....no one talking for a few seconds.
Immidiatly someone said; "Hey what happened to the radio?

Do you remember learning the multipble table calculation?
The whole class would be singing 2x2 is 4ooor 3x3 is 9einn.
I still know them today.
Yep no calculators for us is what all done in our heads.

39+29= 40+30= 70 -2 is 68'
Lol I have been called a mathematical genious by some.
This is how you learned to add etc. in your head.

I forgot how some kids had to redo a class. Yep they reall did!
So far as I know their psyche survided.

What I like to know is when a kid gets his high school diploma but does not even know what a surname is, yeah met them and they now vote, how will they make it in the working world?
Because it is then their self-esteem really gets it as they are now shown they know little.
