Actually they do teach math by hand pretty well. Sometime back I handed my grandson a pencil and paper and rattled a couple of large numbers with decimals and asked him to divide one by the other. He knocked it right out. He also knew his multiplication tables cold. He does math in his head as good as I do.

I don’t know if all schools are teaching that well though.
