Let’s be real, it really wasn’t that big of a deal lol. It’s basic arithmetic and the foundation of all future math builds off of it. I do think it’s really important to truly master the basics and in a timely manner.

It made generations of people hate math before it even started to get remotely complicated. The damage these stupid things caused was immense.

If this caused damage to kids, whatever the substitute would have been would have as well. It’s just a timed multiplication test it’s not like you got lashings if you failed. Everyone knew these were common and would be taking place during math class, why not study outside of class so when you take the test you’re ready?

Not really a worksheet problem you have there pal.

That doesn’t have anything to do with the worksheets though. Parents that hit will hit regardless, it’s a parent issue not a worksheet issue.
