Teach kids how to sign their names and forget the rest. My children were taught cursive in 3rd grade and never had to use it again. My son could keyboard 70 words a minute in 5th grade. He "types" better than I do. My kids all had to do power point presentations in 4th grade. My daughter age 21 scored a "32" on her ACT with a "34" in math and yet she struggled with multiplication facts in 2nd grade. I wasn't even taught multiplication facts until 4th grade. Education is always changing.
