>>709 My brother is tutoring high school kids (SAT, stuff like that) and he's currently got an 11th grader who can't do basic arithmetic even though she has no trouble remembering important numbers and stuff like that.
It really smells like a case of not plugging in the requisite hours during elementary school. Now she needs a tutor or she ain't gonna graduate or go to a good college. THIS IS WHY CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY </oldfashionedattitude>
