RE: Why Children Must Learn Their Times Tables

It really does truly matter.

Tell kids today that the time is "quarter to five" and many won't know what that means. You have to say it is 4:45.

And don't get me started on another pet peeve...understanding the magnitude of numbers. The illustrious Dr. Oz recently stated directly to Trump that due to some wonder drug of his Americans would lose 135 billion pounds. I mean this guy clearly has no sense of numbers. Nobody in the Trump MAGA world does.

For a good laugh you can watch this about it.
