Here in Indiana, we made a law stating this a while back. Needless to say, it didn't go over too well for alot of things. I find the pi button works just as well as the 3 button on my calculator and have yet to find a need to round until the end. I'm not saying rounding won't work for some things, but to all students reading this beware. Teachers do count off.
