I taught math fundamentals to high schoolers this summer.  Too many of them come to us with the inability to multiply and divide.  Teachers tend to give in to the calculators at the high school level because they feel the pressure to have them understand algebra before they graduate.  What are your opinions about giving into the calculators before kids can do basic math functions?
