Our kid’s math teacher put up a slide for the parents telling them a lot of school districts mandated the TI, but not our district. He put up a second slide with specs on the Casio for 1/8th the price, then announced if families couldn’t afford even that, he had a bunch to loan out for the term.
Does the TI monopoly extend to other states? Guess I never thought about it before, but was almost excited to see Casio’s could potentially be used elsewhere
Yeah I basically ignored my teacher’s suggestions and bought an HP instead because I really liked the Reverse Polish Notation it defaults to. I could do everything the TI could do and in fewer key presses. Took some learning though. Had the side benefit that no one would ever want to borrow it because they couldn’t even do 1 + 1 in RPN.
