Slow day we hope

cth> why a 4 year old has subtraction homework

It seemed wrong to me that a kid that age would have homework like that. More Early Learning madness. Hate the way they treat young minds now.

Not that a child can't be taught basics early, but you do it with, say, blocks, game-play where the tyke can plainly see that one take away one equals none. Conveying concepts, though, not "doing problems," at that age.

I liked that the 911 officer didn't really do anything with the first problem except say, "that's a tough one, what else y'got?" Really gentle.

We presume it was a slow time for any other 911 calls…
