Children who take a math test are allowed to use calculators instead of working out a problem on a piece of paper. Thinking it through instead of working out the problem and handing the answer to them. In some ways I think the educational system in this country is trying to 'dumb' people/children down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ever see the movie 'Idiocracy'?That's the future for people who don't educate themselves in some sphere or influence.
