School has Changed……

School has really changed over the years. I'm sure my parents said the same thing when I was in school but gezz.... This is just alot for me to take in. Tonight we had Parent/Teacher Confrences. First of all let me say I never dragged my parents to a confrence where the teacher was wearing a short little mini skirt. Not that I mind, but teachers didn't quite look like that when I was young. Heck, I don't see how they get any learning done at all like that. Anyhoo... after discussing some of the long writting assignments Brandt has been having, she said it was fine if he did them on the computer and then just printed them out. First of all I don't want him doing that until he proves he can do it normally and second of all, in high school we got chewed out for using a calculator to do simple math. Like we hadn't been doing it on pencil and paper for the previous ten years. Oh that's another thing. They let them use pens. We were pretty much pencils only until way late in school. And even then it was frowned upon. Many other things have changed.... But I didn't notice half of them, mostly due to the short skirt thing........
