>>107874103They were right.
@grok is this true? I would learn to look it up but why would I do that when I already have you to do that for me?
>>107874103>>107874147>they had "clickbait" as far as 1986the more things change, the more they stay the same, or as they say these days, and I quote, skibidi rizz sigma gyat sixty seven ohio.
>>107874103It's pretty hard to tell bait and genuine retardation apart nowadays. I think the school where i was only allowed calculators starting from 10th grade or so
>>107874103calculators are similar to AIs in making people lazy to think and in the process making people dumber
>>107874103They are right. Kids need to learn how to do basic math. In my country they only let you use a calculator when you reach 5th grade.

There are pros and cons to everything.
>>107874103how about you just be honest with the requirements. Also what "math concept" do you learn when practicing addition? There is this pervasive myth in math education that if you don't know something that you can't learn anything that requires it. Total nonsense, it's like saying if you can't implement a function you can't write any function that uses it. The hard truth is that only 1/1000 understand mathematics. route practice just lets the dummies pass a (poorly written) test.
>>107874103We need soroban in the classrooms as soon as now. That's the one thing gooks used to get right and it showed.
>>107874156Yeah. Enshittification of critical thinking started right there.
>>107874609It's useful to be able to do simple sums and products in your head. It really doesn't need to be justified, everybody does this in their day to day life. You're not going to pull out a calculator at the grocery store just to get a general estimate of how much you're spending. You'll do math in your head as you pick things out.
>>107874103IMO, students, at any level, should NEVER use calculators. computers? yes. but calculators? definitely not ever.
>>107876589what's your stance on abacus use
>>107874103And they were absolutely in the right to do so.Now AI for students is similarly bad as calculators for kids in school.
Calculators are actually accurate unlike AI.
>>107876611No, they weren't. What functions on the calculator do you know that are not arithmetic operatorsThese kinds of retards would protest the sliderule or the abacus despite them being objectively needful visualization tools. The profs I knew who protested calculators the loudest were the ones who knew how to use them the least.
>>107876606abacus are useful for kids too
>>107876589computers have calculator in them unc...
>>107876756I knew some retard would say this lmaoyes, but teachers wouldn't let you use a computer if they didn't want you to program something or look for info on stuff :^)
>>107876784what does this has to do with anything?
Do kids these days even use calculators? I wasn't allowed to use one in class till grade 11 or smn
