It would be doubly entertaining if that ended up being a five digit value owing to a miscalculation somewhere along the line, but I hear that instructors begin a problem with an answer and apply operations on them to derive a question. Where I came from, we weren't allowed calculators, so I learnt to do everything by hand. If this is a Canadian curriculum, order of operations isn't taught until Grade 7, so I suppose that could hit a Grade 6 student pretty hard, as they'd try to do everything in order (yes, even if they used another calculator!).

As to how true this is? I'll leave it up to you to decide.

Never saw a calculator in school. I don't see a point. It's like "Let me teach you how to press buttons." "Good AAA+ for you." "You are now fully qualifies to walk into the real world."

^ It's more amusing how sound related stuff is the same as well.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Isn't that because you have a fixed number of buttons for a calculator ? Unlike the future of calculators are all touch screen or something...

A Yandere harem? Oh Yes! I would love this.

It's because that's where teachers and such have decided to draw the line on what technological limits a calculators can before it becomes truly a mini computer which is much harder to account for what a student can do with it, and more importantly ensures no internet access .

lol...that's one creative title.

i'm already feeling sorry for whoever is going to be the main character of this harem.
let's hope he survive this ordeal. heck, this game might as well be a survival-horror game now.

They may be older than you. I know for a fact they existed 20 years ago. Heck, there were graphing calculators when I was in middle school.

The problem is, to use them correctly, you needed a good understanding of algebra. At which point a lot of problems were faster to solve by hand.

Well, there's a lot of button pushing in the real world. Whether you're an engineer or a retail clerk, you're going to push buttons. Better get familiar with them from an early age.

Decent calculators do everything in proper order

The only decent calculator I need is always with me. It's powered by cellular respiration and requires an eight hour recharge every night, but it's versatile and is powerful enough to determine solutions from problems, as well as versatile enough to manipulate other calculators into producing a solution

[erneiz_hyde]

If one does not need a calculator to solve something, chances are the problem isn't that hard to begin with. I dread the thought of solving all the engineering problems I encounter in my days of college without some form of calculator. Because unlike in high school, the numbers don't really align beautifully
But yeah come to think of it, I didn't own a calculator until college.
