I would love to have enough calculators for every high school math student. Most cannot afford to purchase one. Having a calculator for use at home will also increase the number of students actually doing homework at HOME. Learning to use a calculator quickly and correctly will also increase ACT scores, as well as help in other classes such as science and physics. Life is hard enough for our kids, but being unable to finish homework because of a lack of a basic necessity is unthinkable in this day and age.
