I wonder how kids who aren't interested in rote math (e.g. 10 quadratic equations 5 nights in a row) bother to learn anything with tools like Wolfram Alpha available for free. I spent so much time on Wolfram Alpha for parts of Calculus II, Chem I and Chem II while in college. Those classes gave mountains of homework, so after I understood how to do them, I just plugged the questions into W|A for a quick answer. In high school, I would have never had the restraint to learn the material first. All of my homework would have been copy-paste jobs from W|A.
