Does knowing your times tables really matter these days?Education has become about numbers excuse the pun. Its throughput and grades and not developing the person. I taught in universities and saw the gradual decline of both incoming students and what was expected of us as teachers. I actually taught adults that counting using your fingers wasn't a bad thing. And how to get near to the right totals and work from thereViewDate:

Full Time CarerHi im in a different situation but still feel guilty about it. I live abroad and my sister minds my mother. I keep thanking her which annoys her and i do try and get over to mind her so my sister can go away. Lock down has scuppered that though.ViewDate:

Does knowing your times tables really matter these days?Hi I think the ability to solve problems, and be creative is the important thing especially for young people. Thus the basic requirements to be able to guesstimate and work out things needs to be there. Hence tables, Language, etc. It is far to easy to reach for the ipad, google and believe the outcome.

Covid vaccine for footballers!I'm a football fan and enjoy the sport and sport in general, In this case however, I'd prefer the games to be suspended and key workers which include the much ignored shop workers vacinated first. -
