You should do that AND send them to socialize/learn with other children; but seeing as you live in a town of ~3500, I can see where you can rationally argue that your family constitutes the only source of children for the school system.
Bad metric: I ran into a high school classmate last week at the super market and he told me that he dropped out of HS and so did a lot of others in the store...
Also, having worked retail, I can tell you that I knew almost instantly how much change to give, and whatever else dealing with numbers, but we CANT do or say anything untill the computer spits out the totals, if your cost $7, gave me $10, I know that $3 is your change, but I couldnt say that or give you the money untill i pushed 10->cash on the register and got the thing to say it too.
Ah, high school is a little too late to be taught basic arithmetic. Basic arithmetic like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are covered (and one is expected to do the sums in their heads) by the time one passes 4th or 5th standard (grade in North American parlance).
As for not being permitted to do anything till the computer spits out the totals, I beg to differ. I have had times when I hand out $21.25 for a $15.25 charge and had the kid look at me totally confused as to why I am offering that kind of money. All I want is a $5 bill instead of a lot of coins in change! I am doing this calculation in my head while they are staring at me with their mouths wide open and waiting for theit "computer" to tell them what kind of change to make!

I bet he is making a snyde/racist remark about their Indian (or other) accent, though I could be wrong, in which case I apologise for making that assumption...
I think he was trying to be funny Tonton. I have not known Midwinter to be prejudiced when it comes to race.
BTW, I wonder - why is it that when Americans can put up with French accents, Spanish accents, Russian accents, British accents, Southern accents and New York accents that they cannot put up with Indian accents? It is just another accent.

I think Tonton was playing straightman to my sarcasm.
That's a good question about Indian accents. I wonder if the issue is that MANY people in America have little experience with Indian accents, and so they don't fall into expected patterns. The other problem is that many, many students in the flyover states have never heard anyone with a real accent, and because they're young and entitled, they have a redneck response of "I CAIN'T UNNERSTAN' A GAWL DANG WURD HE'S UH SAYIN'!! AHM DRAWPIN' THIS CLASS!!!"
When I was in grad school, the university instituted a policy of "no rookies on rookies," which, while it sounded nice and honorable, I read as a code for "No Indian or Chinese people in the classroom before they've been felt out and develop some conversational skills!"

Well, they were probably looking at you confused cause that's 6 dollars change

Holy trinity - holy ghost = 2*JesusGod
Now that's dmz's kind of algebra.
Actually, it's the one-on-one with the kids, some are ready to read at 3, some not till 6. It's a good thing.

I was horrified and appalled.
Southerner's should learn to speak English, too.
At least we know how to use an apostrophe.
lol..
And the period, apparently. You really shouldn't just toss them around like that. There could be a shortage, and then where would you be?
