These teachers ONLY, ONLY let <br />the kids use their calcs for more complicated calculation; they had to first PROVE they could complete basic math problems BEFORE they were even ALLOWED to use the calculators! Also--& isn't THIS poetic justice?!--most of the kids who had calculators (T.I. TX-30's were required school supplies for all 3 grades)wound up losing them, anyway. You've gotta love those Math teachers!!! (&, of course, these were the older, experienced teachers--2 have retired & 1 is still going strong!!!)Cara Boutkidsnoreply@blogger.com
