    Still can’t understand how any kid cannot do it. Isn’t that something you learn from your parents before you even go to school

        “little hand”, “big hand” kind of stuff… yeah, I vaguely recall going over that when I was in JK/SK, possibly in the first few grade levels. IDK, I’m old now, so I don’t remember a lot of what happened when I was around 6.

          Don’t undersell all of the life lessons you learned from being the age you are.

          Part of the reason why kids seem so dumb is because they don’t have that life experience yet. They’re still figuring it out. I’m sure that when I was a kid people looked at me and thought I was pretty dumb, just like many adults do to the kids now. blave has the right attitude about it; teach them. Someone has to. If everyone shrugs it off that someone will do it, then nobody does it.
