Yes I say ban all calculators in maths class. They're clearly the problem. I know I lost all ability to do mental or pen and paper computations after I'd been introduced to a calculator in first year of high school.

Those that can't add or do mental computations may be able to use a calculator but I can't see how it's a causal link. Same as using a keyboard really - I'm sure most of you don't have any problems writing on paper even though you may be proficient on a computer.

"Teachers that complain about no child are indeed morons. They were complaining before the act even went into effect. Why because they were told to do so by their union. A bunch of sheep being led over a cliff."
Snowy - do you mean 'no children' or 'any child'? Or is this one of your deliberate errors to confuse the morons?
- Lemmings and cliff tops are traditionally related, whereas sheep can be led anywhere.
- I don't see where unions come into this argument at all (other than in your head)
- did you by any chance have a tough time at school (perhaps conforming to those moronic norms of spelling, grammar and considered intellectual thought/debate)?
