time on it. If they're not interested, it doesn't matter a damn what the school or teacher does. If we have a bunch of parents who only care if the kid graduates, well, that's on them. The less they have to do, the better, right? How is that on the school? And your fantasies about people over 30 knowing how to do these simple things kid today don't learn how to do is overblown. I've worked with people in all age groups over the course of a 30 year career in nursing and found them in every age group who don't know proper grammar, can't spell, don't understand a simple ratio. And these are people with college educations in a lot of cases. I'm sorry to say it was often RN's I was involved in training. Yes, it's astounding but it's not new or unique to people under 30.
