If you were going to major in any science degrees, you sure needed it. No one gave you just a *pass*; you had to earn you grades.

FWIW, a week doesn’t go by that I am not appalled at the inability of teens to do simple math, when money changes hands. Pathetic. They are not worth a minimum wage.

Business owners must tear their hair out, justifying cash drawers at the end of the day.

I know just what you mean. Things have changed so much in my lifetime.
I was in school back in the 1940's-50's.
we were taught how to count change, calculate board feet, etc, etc....
BUT,... that was then......

A kid today goes to work in a store....
the cash register calculates the sales tax.....
figures how change to make....
The kid only has to punch the buttons...
