Hello,
I am in Year 5 in Blackalls Public School and I do not
agree with having calculators out all the time in class.
They are a help sometimes but the let silly kids be lazy
and not use their brains.
My dad teaches too. In some classes, he gives rewards to
kids who don't use calculators. Some kids end up faster
without them.
I will have to practise my tables before school starts
in February. I've done no practise in a month.

Yours,
C.L.M. - Blackalls Park, Lake Macquarie City, Australia
