That's just retarded. Are teachers requiring kids to do it this way?

What the freakin' sweet jesus was that crap? As if kids don't have a hard enough time with the abstractness of math anyway, now they'll have NO IDEA what the hell they're doing.

Yeah! My daughter is never doing that! It's kinda interesting that it works out like that and I could see how it would be a useful tool with kids with severe learning disabilities, but how about just doing math through units? 12 x 10= 120; 12 x 3= 36; 120 + 36 = 156 I'm with Kuzi that it took all of 2 seconds to figure that one out. Or how about just memorize your damn multiplication tables and you'd already know that 12 x 12 = 144. Now just add another one! I guess there's no such thing as the associative process anymore!

Can you rewrite that in text-speak so I can understand?
