Then you had really good teachers. I NEVER had a math teacher say a single word about how to do those. We had calculations but never saw "story problems" until they showed up on a test. It was as if they expected us to somehow figure it out on our own. Well, we didn't.
Math word problems. Like real world use of math. Had those all the time in school.
