Amazingly, I have said nothing about having to buy $100 graphing calculators. You on the other hand called _all_ handheld calculators a waste of time.

- jacobolus 7y agoUsing a handheld 4-function or scientific calculator can save time. There is nothing wrong with the existence of calculators. The problematic part is their pervasiveness in school. Spending nontrivial amounts of classroom time on practicing using a handheld calculator is a waste. Assigning high school students long lists of exercises where they punch numbers into calculators and then write down the answers is a waste of time and attention.
