LOL They teach in schools that it is all about the relationship of the numbers, not the final sum! My granddaughter was playing school and she was the teacher. She had 9 +2 on the board. I said 11. She said but what is the relationship of those numbers and then started drawing a lot of nonsense on the board. I sat there and laughed! We have a lot of damage to undo!

You should see how they teach two-digit multiplication.
Even in Florida. In a good private school.
The rot is generational & systemic.
Also about the relationship of the numbers: 9 is a gay muslim trans lesbian, 2 is the opposite.
The dad enters the room "And then 47 is Trump and he comes in and smashes all the gay muslim trans lesbians and MAGA!" Sound effects of smashing
This explains (partially, at least) why younger cashiers in stores can't seem to count change. It always amazes me.
