Well yesterday I went to the local Tech school. Did the beginning paperwork for starting classes this summer. Tomorrow I go for some sort of test, to see if I need refreshed in math, english and writing. Been taking the online pretest. It would appear math has changed a bunch since the early 80's. Haven't gotten to the other stuff yet.

Here is the pretest in case you want to play along http://act.org/compass/tests/index.html
 
as long as 1 +1 still equals 3, I could deal with the math.
I was pretty good at math when in school... but when the kids brought home Texas algebra books in the late 90s, I couldn't follow how they were teaching them to get where they needed to go. I could get the answer, but not the way they did. Very frustrating. :(
