What is really a shocker is how many high schools, or even middle schools, allow students to use calculators, but then when the students go to college, calculators are banned in the math department.

At least that's how it is where I go to school. You try to get a student raised upon using a calculator to get a B or higher in college Calculus. It's not easy. I'm not going to lie. I struggled and worked really hard to earn my measly B's.

It's not really the importance that they need to know how to do it just to know how to do it. It's more of understanding why certain concepts work the way they do.

Nice post Pavan.
