how do you compare to a fourth grader?

[FoBoT]

i went to my 9 year old daughter's teacher-parent conference last night and while waiting grabbed a pamphlet sitting outside the door

i thought "things sure have changed since i was in fourth grade!!" :Q

how do you stack up against today's 9-10 year olds?

Title of pamphlet -> Curriculum Grade 4 Overview, Liberty Public Schools

You'd be amazed at the number of adults I talk to who would have serious troubles with that list.

mmm, no, no i wouldn't

"they" are trying to get my group moved from informal level 3 support to formal level 2 support, which would mean i would have to start dealing with the people you refer to on a daily basis. i am not very happy about the idea :|

ouch.... that sucks

on another note, i think dealing with people increases the chances i'm passive aggressive. *shrug*...

not really, no.

"right click on my computer"
"okay"
"now from the menu select properties"
"i dont' see a menu, i see a:, c:, and d:"
"you left clicked instead of right clicking"
"what"
"press on the right mouse button"
"i didn't know it did anything!"
