By the way, you're not supposed to use multiple question marks or exclamation points. Maybe you need some grammar flash cards.]]>Jul 3rd 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/Jul 3rd 2009 10:25AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/
Or another way to do this is to look at the answers and study from it like that. I think this is very useful and good for them for utilizing technology to help their friends like that!]]>Jul 3rd 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/Jul 3rd 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/Jul 3rd 2009 6:15PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/This is a Flashcard-style app. Flashcards usually have the answers on the back anyway. These boys skillfully crafted an iphone version of a flashcard. Bravo to them. Your poor grammar was very comical, especially while complaining about the education system. I pray you wrote that poorly to seem ironic. Forgetting apostrophes, misuse of are/our, incorrect plural usage...pure comedic gold!!! Next time you rip our education system, please have someone check your grammar, possibily by the use of a red pencil (teachers still use them.) Well , I'll off to study the latest pedagogical techniques, so i can be prepared for the next school year.]]>Jul 3rd 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/Jul 3rd 2009 1:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/
Hmm, Hope, I'm no Sherlock Holmes here... but perhaps it gives the answers so they know if they answered the question correctly? A person can sit there and say 1+5=7 all they want, but if they are not corrected, how do they know its wrong?

Students are just too lazy to learn and rely too heavily on gadgets. Ask an American student to spell or do simple additions and they will flunk.

Well I am quite insulted at a statement like this one. I was an American student. I am 26 years old now, and if I DO remember correctly, I never "flunked" spelling or math.

Instead of tightening are education standards, we seem to be lowering them because we don't want to use the red pens/pencils because it might hurt a child's feelings,

Instead of tightening "are" education standards? Are you the one that flunked spelling?

all students must pass regardless if they have studied or not, students need to be paid to study, yada, yada, yada, Then we complain our students can't compete against students in other countries.

No sweetheart, our education system can only go so far. If the studies are not reinforced at home, parents are to blame. My children read, write, and can do math by the age of 3.
We cannot compete against students in other countries because we have a completely different system. We use inches, they use metrics. We speak English, they speak their own lanuage.

That is why Bill Gates wants to bring in foreign workers because he thinks they are so smart !!!!!!!

No, we don't think they are smart, we think they are cheap. I work for a very large company, which I cannot state which here (No its not microsoft).We hire non-us citizens because they accept a lower salary. A dollar here in America, usually doubles in most countries. They send their money back home, and their family is well off after a few years and they can return. Americas greed is what has us firing John Smith, to bring in Jesus Hernandez or Cheng-Wang. Get it now?
Maybe you are the one that needs to go back to school and enjoy a nice cup of coffee so you can smell the roses.]]>Jul 3rd 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/Jul 3rd 2009 1:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/Jul 3rd 2009 1:45PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/Jul 5th 2009 2:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/
I know because this worked for me!]]>Jul 5th 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/02/pre-teen-pair-build-successful-iphone-app/
First, please re-read the app description. It works much like flash cards work. The answer to the problem is only given once the user prompts for same. Second, please note your own ignorance prior to trying to point out laziness and ignorance in others. Your post uses incorrect grammar, even using the word "are" for "our" - two completely different words. So, while I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I guess you have just proved that "You Can't Fix Stupid!"
