Ask a few to count different cash denominations at once. I've seen college grads fail at it. How can someone that's been educated not count 1s, 5s, and 10s? Throw in coins and you may see a head explode. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
In 2023 that's kind of like complaining the kids aren't learning cursive...
Like, that used to be something people had to do multiple times a day. I carry some "emergency bills" in my wallet just in case, but I can't remember the last time I actually used cash to buy something at a store.
It's not about counting the cash, it's about being able to count using different amounts. Adding them together and being accurate. I don't care about the money part of my statement. I care that people graduating high school and college aren't able to what should be simple addition.
Because it's something they don't do multiple times a day...
I dont understand how to explain it any simpler
It's not something I do every day but I was taught how to do simple math and retained it. Again, it's not the cash I'm concerned with.
