PHEW!!... I couldn't have believed it would get this far ?? (My original post...).
I 'THINK' that most people understand/understood what I was initially proposing?...
However.... "Distelzombie", I am left with no other recourse than to assume that...
"never the twain shall meet" (it's beyond this scope here x), so I bow out to 'you' :-)
That being said, I 'tried' to show respect to your comments/thoughts, but to no avail.
I think everyone else knows that when I mentioned "maths with single digits", I meant
just that my friend.... NOT 'knowing' off by heart what is "13x17" or "23x49"...
The BASIC single-digit memorized 'results' are but the first, of REPEATED steps for the
next level??? But everyone else KNOWS that, and what I mean???
In the latter part of this post/comments, 'BRUMBY' did say it all, with simple clarity and I thank him !!!!
However... 'someone else' said, in answer to 'Distelzombie'....
"No, I get your point, I just don't see much mileage in any continued debate. I doubt there's much chance of you changing the minds of the
"It was good enough for me" school of thought. When you have participants who bewail that children nowadays do not learn times tables in
the way they were taught in maths classes, but eschew all that they were taught in English classes I suspect you're on a hiding to nothing."
simply 'smacks' of ill-informed aggression with the goal of 'belittling' me.... (He knows ) :-)
