We were not allowed to use calculators in school... A couple years ago I worked for a School District in British Columbia, Canada, and they now teach kids from Grade 1 to use calculators. They hardly have to think anymore it seems... and the number of kids graduating from High School with a Grade 3 or 4 reading level is growing.
When will parents realize their childs education is THEIR responsibility not the schools?
Rant ends....
