It amazes me how something simple can set someone off, and in the process, they reveal their true colors which aren't pretty at all. Actually, I find it to be quite sad.....

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

Calculators are REQUIRED for 6th grade math..........
Tell me again why people need a register to make change for them?

Graphing Calculators are required for my college math class, but we can't use them on the tests.Originally Posted by Lady's Human

It would make my life a lot simpler if I was a cashier, or someone regularly dealing with money, to have a calculator at the ready. For years, I was ashamed of my flat out inability to do even simple math calculations. I have been very, very, very poor with math- even basic "simple" math my entire life, and have a difficult time subtracting double digits, even from a hundred. Make it something like 116 - 38 = ??? and it certainly takes me a minute to figure it out.
Really, who cares? It hasn't made me a terrible person, and I have other areas of strength, for sure. But, I bet, in the darkest hour, most of us can admit we just really stink at something.

I care, because my daughter is in the aforementioned math class, and they are requiring students to learn to use a scientific calculator before they have the basics down.
They're using calculators for fractions.
Unsat.
Crawl....walk....run.
In addition, I just had to make corrections on a homework assignment which wouldn't have been required if she was doing things out by hand.

As an addendum....
I can certainly admit that I have issues with certain tasks.
However, pardon the heck out of me for trying to ensure that my daughter actually CAN do math in her head without the use of a calculator.
Being a lawyer may not require the ability to do calculations, but any technical field requires it.

I have to go with LH on this one....it is great to have tools like a calculator but if you don't know how to do it without and understand the why you haven't learned to do the task. What happens if you need to do some calculations and don't have a calculator available? If you always depend on a calculator how do you know if a number looks "off?" You will have to accept what someone else tells you the number should be.
I am not a math whiz but I force myself to do manual calculations periodically just to make sure I still can!

It's not quite 7 AM and there is a bird in the crabapple tree, singing loudly! A cheerful treat on a chilly, rainy morning.
