The Roman Numeral Gap!

Following up on my earlier post on the cursive gap and the legislature's drive to require that students memorize multiplication tables, another yawning gap in education just occurred to me. The Roman Numeral Gap!

There was a time when normal students could read the roman numerals that appeared in movie titles. This was an accepted part of everyone's education.

Now students can't even read the Super Bowl numbers.

Surely the General Assembly can adopt measures to correct this yawning gap in our childrens' education.

Other shortcomings needing attention:

Diagramming sentences;

Greek alphabet;

Latin for everyone;

Courses in rhetoric;

Analytical geometry.
