There are too many old-fashioned people in the teaching pro­fession and it's difficult for them to communicate with kids. It's a pity they don't go to conferences and learn about new teaching methods. After all, it's natural for kids not to worry much about spelling or adding up имеющим смысл rows линии of figures . It's obvious to anyone that English spelling is just a convention условность and any pocket calculator will count much faster and more accurately than the human brain. It's hard to interest kids unless you can show them that what they learn is useful to them.
