The New New Math
When I was growing up, every time a kid did something that the previous generation didn’t understand, a parent or grandparent would blame it on “the new math.” We’d come home from school to find our parents unable to help us with our homework. They didn’t understand it, nor did they understand the way we were thinking or behaving in general. So they connected the dots and decided it was the “new math” that made us indecipherable.
Even my father would say it. Which shows you how pervasive the belief was, as he never really had a grasp on “the old math.” The Great Depression hit right before he went into 6th grade and he had to quit school to work for his family. When I went from feathered Farrah hair to preppy Peter-pan collars with a ribbon bow, to Punk rock safety pins in my ears, he greeted each new style with “I don’t get it. Must be that new math.”
It never made sense to me when I was young(er)–note, I held back from the bad pun of “it didn’t add up to me”–but now I think I’m beginning to understand.

I Type Like A Super Star!
by Pearl
You know, of all the things that have held me back in life, I have to say that learning to type was probably my biggest mistake.
That, and learning how to make coffee (or letting anyone in an office know that I know how to make coffee).
Oh, and those years I headed up that pre-school gambling ring. That might’ve been a mistake.
But no. Typing has held me back the most.
