Have you ever forgotten something that you didn't think you ever COULD forget?

I was in a 4th grade class room. The kids had a math work sheet. The front was 2 and 3 digit multiplication problems. The back was long division…I went to demonstrate long division, only to realize I’d freaking forgotten how to divide with a pencil and paper! I screwed around for 10 minutes before it finally kicked back in. I mean, when was the last time I ever came close to needing to do long division?
I was made at myself.

As an aside..there is crap going around on Facebook that they’re taking analog clocks out of the classrooms because the kids don’t know how to read them any more. In my experience, that’s BS. They still learn to read them in 2nd & 3rd grade just fine.

Counting back change is a skill that needs to be resurrected, though.

I got to see 3 of my grandkids who go to that school, so that made my day. :D
