What amazed me is that half of the people bought the 18 pack. I went over to look at the eggs. They had the same 6 weeks out expiration date the same size large, and were even from the same farm. I asked myself. Would I want one of those people buying 2-18 packs working for me? Further I thought how much more does it cost for someone like that to even survive?

If you look at the American Icons like Rockefeller or local business success stories there seems to always be a basic fundamental that is consistent with all them. It is the respect the numbers ($'s) and understanding how they work. It doesn't even require high-end math, just a basic understanding of addition, subtraction, muliplication and division. This could easily be translated as Product Cost times Quantity = Fixed Expenses, Quantity times Retail Price = Gross Revenues, Gross Revenues less Expenses = Net Income, Net Income / Investment = Rate of Return. At the end of the day people can lie but numbers do not. It is amazing how true this is.

There are people that have the ability to succeed in math, but they learn to dislike it early in life and they never recover. It gets even more sad if they pass a lifelong math aversion on to their kids. Math has opened more doors for me than I ever imagined. I hope to pass my love for math on to my kids so they may benefit from it as well. I couldn’t agree more Susan!

As a retired Math teacher, I found that many secondary students had learned a fear of math from their elementary school years. If elementary teachers are not instilling a love of math parents need to step in a show kids how much fun math can be. You can not leave the education of your child up to the school system, be it public or private. The school is only as good as the teacher in the room with your child. What a great article!
