  1. You won't see those but there is a real one that is actaully quite cool:

    You should check out:

    Dangerous Book for Boys

    It is really fun and it even has a different take for English boys and American boys (they wrote it for the UK first then modified it and released a version more tailored for US kids)

    Finally a book that allows boys to be boys!

  2. Ok, so you read about it that's a good start.

    The next question is has it really been taught or stressed to you?

    In 5th and 6th grade is where it should be taught so it can be appleid for the rest of your life, so how many teachers actaully taught it?

  3. I am currious how long ago each one who answered this went to school

    My bet is those who went to grade scholl and middle school (junior high) in the 70's and 80's were probably taught the correct way is to do multiple mathmatic computations when there are no brackets. I don't have many friends who went to school in the 60's so it would be difficult for me to find out what they were taught (but my guess is they would have a better chance then kids going to scholl now)

    Those who went in the last twenty years are much less likely to have been taught correctly. Neither of my teens had a clue the answer was 6 and both are considered "very good" in math.

    Even after I talked them through it they insisted this is the first they had ever heard of it.

    If that is indeed the case our education system is worse than I thought.

    All and all pretty sad...

  4. Actually it I'm not having any serious trouble. I am just thying to make ends meet by working my butt off.

    Kandric 23 is about 1/2 done, but more work on it will have to wait until winter when things calm down a bit.

    I do have other partual stories: nothing as graphic, but featuring kids as main characters. I have not posted them anywherfe yet, but would love to have a few test read what I have to see is where I am going makes for a good plot.
