I just hate that this is what we are doing to the kiddos in our own schools…. I say defund the teacher unions…
And good on you taking time to help your grandkids….

Wait until you see that the hand-written work to figure out the answer for 4+5 is different than it is to figure out 5+4.
One uses the 'double plus one' rule and the other uses the 'double minus 1' rule.

What was wrong with the old school way?
What if it’s 21-9?
10.5 and 10.5?

My wife was showing me some papers where the kids "couldn't get it" doing that. We had an intense discussion (read argument) about how idiotic that method of teaching is but that's the way they do it.
Too much of education no longer makes sense.
My helper went to the the local community college and is fixin ta graduate with his associate degree and all he's taken is basic math, histories, English literature, psychology and a ton of "electives" . He has yet to take a single course geared toward his career field. Says he has to go to a different school for that. Our education system is messed up.
