Journal -- Zacharias Smith
Sometimes, I worry for the education of little witches and wizards everywhere. Muggles have their primary schools where their little children can learn important skills such as reading, writing, and arithmatic. Wizarding children, however, are left to the devices of their parents, be it homeschooling, joint homeschooling with another wizarding family or two (or ten), or outsourcing the education process to tutors and nannies (and maybe the stray house-elf, which may or may not be a good idea depending on how the family has treated the elf). Perhaps if we had a better means of education for young witches and wizards they'd grow up to understand the meaning of "unspeakable." They might even understand the meaining of unspeakable in various contexts. I swear, they think it means "challenge my ability to keep a secret and keep testing my patience to see if I'll hex you or not."

They might also learn how to make correct change. Next time that twat dolt imbecile bloke is working the till at the market, I'll just make do with takeaway for the weekend.

In other news, I think these kittens are defective.

On a slightly related note, I'm excited to try a new recipe.

Having never been to a Muggle school, I cannot possibly compare, however I can say that I trust few but myself to give my daughter an education that meets my exacting standards. However, there are many Muggles incapable of giving correct change without the assistance of an electronic device to do it for them, so perhaps it would also depend upon the efficacy of the school's teachers.

I can te I'm sure part of it is also has to do with each person's ability to grasp or not grasp maths, but perhaps the wizarding world should consider similar devices and tills for such exchanges.

Would that not be enabling incompetence and possibly prevent people from actually learning how to do it themselves?

I don't know. I do basic maths in my head so I have no experience one way or another with such things personally.
