Our lad's already been doing times tables test for the last year and a
half, and he still forgets them :-) Too many other distractions in a
kid's life, these days. Having said that, if someone were to ask me
what 6 * 7 is, I'd still have to go 6 * 6 = 36, and then add 6. Same
for 7 * 8.

Playing darts sharpened me up. Of course nowadays they would have to
provide a safe space and a non competitive environment for learning. I
still feel the need for therapy 40 years later. #mepoohdartsrecovery

My dad can do that. Tell you what you need to finish, each time you hit
the wrong numbers (I'm hopeless at darts).

The idea of having a dartboard in the classroom is an interesting one
:-) Seems unlikely these days. I know you didn't mean that, but the
thought of it made me laugh.
