   Why does the first card also say 5x9 ??? Uh, Jan? Did you run out of room for the other card?

   @SchmoozeMinkey, Flash cards usually have problems on both sides. Grandma was reading the problem on her side, but we could see the one on the other.

   Isn’t a midschooler supposed to know multiplication tables already? -that’s 3rd grade math where I come from

   Holly does seem a little old to be learning multiplication tables. I think I learned that in about the third or fourth grade. I thought Holly was more around 7th or 8th grade.

    Grandma’s also doing it completely WRONG. She’s too close to Holly, and the cards have the answer in small print on the opposite side, so Holly can very much read the answer. Also, Grandma is NOT supposed to say the problem, Holly has to answer the one in front of her, not on the back (that way she can’t see the answer on the opposite side). As to weather she’s too old, remember she’s in public school and I doubt anyone of her grade is doing well in basic multiplication.

    I can still stump my daughter with 7x8 at the dinner table & she’s 40! Actually it’s just the unexpectedness of it that shakes her. Doesn’t expect it at visit for Sunday dinner!

    Don’t be surprised if you say 4 by 4 and some fat chick comes up to you and smacks the bejezus out of you for insulting her.

    If Holly needs to review her basic times tables at her age, she doesn’t need to stay back a grade, she needs to go back several grades….. Oh, and if I ever cussed at my grandmother forget calling DSS, call CSI.

    As to her age and grade…well. I am a teacher. I teach History and English. However, I have period subbed in math classes several times. Believe me she is where most of here peers are sadly. Yes it is 2nd and 3rd grade work but for some reason the kids where I teach aren’t getting it. I only wish that my kids parents/grandparents were that involved in their children’s education.

    OldHipster I’ll would love to see a fat chick or fat dude smack the bejezus out of those PeTA Thugs for making fun of them with that idiotic anti-obesity/pro vegan billboard they put up in Jacksonville Florida calling obese people “Whales” & telling them to “Lose the Blubber & go vegetarian/vegan”!

    Yeah, for the readers who are too old now to put themselves in Holly’s shoes. I’m no longer her age, but I can still show some empathy. What’s your excuse?
