You are probably not up because school has once again started. But I was just curious as so why calculators are so widly used now? The math hasn't changed. My mom never used them, my bf who is 30 never used them until he started doing algebra in highschool, and I started using them in grade 7. Now kids are asked to have one for grade 5. Is the school system trying to make kids stupid? Most people my age (23) and younger have trouble doing basic math including myself and I partly blame calculators and other things like large class loads for teachers. It seems schools are asking for them every year for younger grades and I would like to know the reasoning behind the decision.

Does anyone know what I could use to overlay on a mural about 8 feet by 5 feet? The intention is to cover the paper mural so that we can write on it with grease pencils. Will a roll of laminate do it? not sure of the quality/consistency of the plastic.

Hi I live in the state of Connecticut, I have this problem, I keep going from job to job because I have personality conflicts with co-workers, authority figures and moving from place to place hoping to find where I'm supposed to be. I figure that finding my strengths and eventually the position I would work out best at would involve taking an aptitude test, does anyone know of a quality and accurate test and where to take it in the state of CT?
