In my experience, the smart kids use different mental tricks to do mental arthrimetic. Trying to force a kid to use number lines when it simply increases the complication for that child does seem moronic.

Real engineers don't use number lines. They punch buttons on their calculators.

A horrible disease, but illustrative what will happen to the teeth without the constant cheek pressure to offset the tongue...(small potatoes compared to the other devastation, but clearly something this moron will have to deal with)
