ALL LIES!!!

I've been trying to get my presentation for math ready for Monday. I'm supposed to be teaching multiplication of decimals. While getting ready for this, it turns out that we're no longer teaching students to "count decimal places". This was shocking. It felt like my mathematical exisitance has been nothing but lies! I really didn't know what to do...I went into shock. And it literally took me a day to recover. Still a bit shakey, but I have to calm down in time for the presentation. How am I going to do this?
