I have been a high school special educator for some time now (10+ years) and I am still quite confused as to why my teenaged students cannot recite their multiplication tables, but can tell me all the lyrics of Chief Keef or Drake's new album! **Ugh and Sigh** I have also been doing my own investigation where I sneak in a few lessons, to try to mitigate this issue and they still do not study!! So here is the big question...Should I just continue on, notify parents and say to hell with it? or Should I teach them this 3rd grade concept as it may or may not help my bottom line in the long run?
