I can’t help but wonder if this is to take the news spotlight away from the Siri recording scandal that just popped up

Yeah they worked amazingly. I went into classes already knowing a lot of the math and science material and the teachers lessons taught principles instead of just formulas. I would say they are still beneficial for todays kids although there may be better ones now. There’s nothing like saving your little video game buddy to force you to memorize things haha

For the typing yeah it trained me not to look at the keyboard and type things very quickly. One trick my typing teacher in school used was to put cardboard over the keyboard so you can’t see. I think that would probably pair nicely with the game.

I was pretty young still so those educational ones were hella fun and my parents would let me play as much as I wanted

Daily: 2011 Subaru STi wagon. It’s fun, speedy, has excellent traction for the mountains and snow where I live, and can transport 4 people with snowboarding gear.

Fun: 1955 Caddie. My great uncle bought it new so this is nostalgic.

Moto: 1982 Yamaha XS650. I use this for joy rides in the mountains and to save on gas
