Oh dear.
Hmm. Education is good, but for which age group are these intended? 2 x's
tables? Surely we should ALL be educated way beyond such basic tables?
> 7x 1= 6
Try 7.
> 9x 2 = 16
Try 18.
> 10x12 = 144
Try 120.
There is no use in demanding that one's infants take such tables to heart
when they are patently incorrect. If some are not to be trusted then how
can the ignorant trust any to be.
Typing such tables of course can be fraught with possible errors. We all
make mistakes and it is easy to make such mistakes, but what was intended
as a learning tool (And WW at that) then becomes an erroneous one of no
use as it can not be trusted. It merely propogates the original error if
the ignorant slavishly copy.
