Hey Mike,

I think the "duh" moment is going to be when the first student graduates and his/her earth shattering epiphany is...

"We need a business teaching people geometry." I wonder what the engineer does that doesn't require him to

use geometry. I use geometry all day at work.

I remember the "spell word as it sounds" fiasco they tried here.

If the student spelled the word correctly, but not the way it sounds, the child was wrong. The great reasoning for the

student being wrong was...well we haven't taught the student how to spell that word yet. Classic.

That is scary. Teach the kids the right way from the beginning and it works much better.
