Where were these sites when I was in school?

Hell, there were NO sites when I was in school!



Does anyone wonder how far they would have gone with their
education if they had spellcheck, laptops, the internet, google and every
other tool available to the yute of America?

This site might help some members kids out.

But then you wouldn't be able to spell, couldn't use a dictionary, couldn't write a sentence, couldn't add or subtract without a calculator...pretty much couldn't do anything without a crutch.

There, don't you feel better???

Well, I sure could have used a laptop.

My handwriting was always a problem and they just insisted
that I could fix it.

My biggest problem was time. I had to pretty much take care
of myself after about 10th grade and work after school so homework was always
put on the back burner.

I wish I had until 10th grade. But I hear you. Boys handwritings are always worse than girls...Unless you went to Catholic School.

How many kids know how to use a library now? I actually just got a new library card, after maybe 25 years, because I'm sick of buying books. I want to read Cancer Ward by Solzhenitsyn - can't find it anywhere. Now, at the BPL, you can reserve a book online and they'll deliver it to the branch you want.

I gotcha beat. I had to use a slide rule at one point. They didn't want us using scientific calculators.
