I taught basic math at both middle school and junior college level, and (gasp) didn’t allow calcuators in my class.
Its amazing the amount of panic you can engender by saying ‘put that away, you won’t need it’ – calculators have become a crutch for almost everybody.
OK – I was nice -once we got to the part where we used real numbers in decimal fractions, I let them use calculators.
Call me a push-over 😉
