Is there anything super dad cannot do?? Nate: look. can you explain this math homework or not? Nate's Dad: Umm.. carry the two..
A lot of comedies make this joke where the parents don’t understand how the kids are doing their math but I just don’t get it. I asked my Dad once to help me with my homework and he understood. Could someone please explain to me why and how American math has changed over the years?
