Apparently, kids in the SEVENTH GRADE are no longer taught the multiplication tables. I work at a candy store and this kid asked me how much a hundred Jolly Ranchers would cost. Jolly Ranchers cost 10 cents apiece at the store, so I asked her to do the math. Anyone who knows anything about multiplication knows that the ten times table is easy as shit; just add another zero to the end and you got the answer. She could not do it. She said her teacher hadn't gotten to that yet. And then she said she was in the seventh grade. Yup, our schools really are failing our kids if they can't do the most basic math even at this age.
