so celia and I are working away at her 8th grade math and I’m wondering really of what usefulness is it to know all about binary numbers and octal numbers and how to change them to decimal numbers…. really?? is this something she will ever use? I know the only time I do anything with it is when homeschooling my children LOL

This is a frequent struggle in my house too. Some of this stuff they’ll never use, but for some reason it must be considered basic for everyone to learn. It sure can be frustrating for Mom and child. Actually, Kaitlin is doing much better this year than last. I guess her work is easier, or maybe she’s learning something!
