Are we still acting like this excuse was the actual explanation for why you couldn’t use a calculator?

They just said this. It was easier than trying to explain the nuances of education to kids. The actual reason was “because you have to learn to use your brain to do shit, it’s kind of important.”

Like, this is the equivalent of being upset the gym teacher wouldn’t let you use a segway in class. You’re missing the point.
