COUNTING $$$:	HANK1	11/30/05
I've asked several young check-out clerks at a local Super Market to manually count my change back to me after adding up my purchases. None could. Back to the computer they went. Why can't some of our young people count change? HANK

New Math is one of the answers of why thay can't count money. They are as hindered as those who learned to read by word recognition rather than "sounding out" the letters in a word. More proof of how "modern /psychologicaly sound/ intellectualy approved" methods often have UNINTENDED HARM. Somehow they missed the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". To such people everything looks broke....and THEY are going to change the world.
