As if there aren’t enough perils out there to worry us as parents (speaking from 6 months of parenting experience personally), we now have one more hazard out there…..calculators!
I am alarmed at how teenagers are dependent on calculators for the simplest math operations. I am not talking “233 x 4.93”. Think more of the “30×3” level of difficulty math question.
A calculator is only as smart as the person operating it. Please make sure your children know how to do the basic math they are asking the calculator to do for them.
Sure, the SAT and ACT allow the use of calculators. But, often real life won’t!
