It was a good article that IMHO is not about Basic, but our kids not learning basic logic skills. I taught my son how to build a PC, how to change oil, tires, alternators, etc on his car. I also taught him how to diagnose some of the most common car problems. Why? Simply, he can't get ripped off by some mechanic trying to sell him something he doesn't need.
Case in point: Microsoft telling the world that if it took out Explorer, Windows would not work. What a gag that was..lol.. Currently, my Windows explorer is so slow that I only use it when a website will not render something using Firefox.
We hear about it all the time, how Americans are falling behind in basic math and science. It's cute to critize and use words like trite, but think past your little world and understand what the article is really about. Learning to use our noodles.
sincerely,
moron
