Calculators
By Suzanne

Clip to ScrapBook   
Please don't promote the use of calculators at such an early age. I have tutored middle school and high school kids(mostly in honors classes) this past year that are too dependent on calculators. I firmly believe kids at this age need to practice math skills by hand, not by using a calculator. It only tends to make them more dependent on calculators later on.
