I don't mind them as a required school supply, but what happened with my
kids in junior high and high school is what really set me off...  They were
even ALLOWED to use calculators during math exams?!  (BTW:  That was in one
of the highest ranking public high schools in Texas which shall remain
nameless because some of the employees of that district lurk amongst the
messages).

How's that for dumbing down of America.
