Got a letter from the(Sons)School yesterday...They STRONGLY suggest that he (8th grade) be given a TI-84 Graphing Calculator for his math classes...so OK how much can it be??? right????
WOW!
$139.00-$159.00 at the local "Big Boy's Toys" retailers...
and somewhat better pricing at online retailers (until you add in the shipping)....HOLY SH!T Batman!!! How did I ever get through Algebra, Geometry, Trig, and Calculus in high school and college with out one of these bank busters???...AND they are allowed for use on the SAT, AP, and ACT tests...
The big Su(k is, although all of this math CAN be done with pad and paper,...they will be teaching it via the Calculator...and they have a "Limited" supply available for use by students in each class...so if I don't get one for him I'll be hobbling him...RASA-FRASA-HITZEN-BRASSA
Anyone got one kicking around they "had to have" and now find it unused???? need to dump it???
