Well, I guess that is what it takes...necessity.
Oh they’re using calculators for simple math
That’s very bad
I use my calculator for household and at work
But kids need to learn basic math in their heads, at least on paper they need it for their development. For logic etc
They get to college and their engineering scholarship gets taken away. The jig is up. They can’t do math. I’ve seen it.
The people in good programs, their parents would not allow calculators.
