Spare the Rod?

how can you pass math if you can't balance a checkbook? Addition and subtraction are transferrable skills. But nobody writes checks anymore anyway (or at least they won't by the time the current brood graduate) so that's virtually irrelevant

The fuck it is, so they do it on their computer or wristwatch, it still has to be done unless you have so much money it doesn't matter. Knowing how to add and subtract does not give you the ability to do it, that's pretty evident by the hoards of people with basic math skills who say they can't do it.
