X, don't want to upset you again as I have done in the past. We agree we don't want to be hacked to death.

I had a nice talk with an age old friend of mine who has a boy in Junior High School. The lad came home asking help on percentages. %. He came home and asked because he had dropped his pencil and lost track of which buttons to push in which order on his calculater.

My friend met with the teacher and was told they had to deal with the tecnology first. My friend had shown his boy how to figure percentages with a pencil and paper and to understand what they were. My friend was told he was screwing up the program.
