12 Things Boomers Learned in School That Are Totally Irrelevant Today

Everything we learned was relevant. I learned how to type on an old school typewriter – by touch – and trained for speed. Carryover… I can type 100 words/minute on my iPad and laptop. This has served me well as technology has evolved. ~ Kelley Havens

Seeing how bad students perform today as a conglomerate, as a boomer, I am dismayed at how studies like math are taught today. Thank goodness My fifth grade teacher taught us mental math, and it’s sad to see a young cashier today manually try to give change when you give $3.27 for a $3.22 charge. Over reliance on technology is not a valid substitute for knowing how to do something and understand what is being done. Computers lead many today with a nose ring. ~ Rick Camacho
