today was my first day of school, when i met my new mathematics teacher he said that from today onwards we are using calculator, he prefer CASIO scientiftic calculators,
and the whole class is going to use Casio.

You see thats the problem with most of these old fashioned people who have been blinded with the evil tricks of marketting strategy by capitalism. The primary objective of a calculator, whether scientific or standard, is to CALCULATE. So it does not matter which brand you buy, what is important is whether it works or functions according to your needs or not.

No it is best to buy not only the same brand calculator but the same model calcutor that your teacher is using:
You said between a HP and Casio so I am thinking that you are taking Trig. or Geo. or Alg.
I know fom having to help my sudents figure out how to work their calculators that a Casio is a lot simpler than a HP: A lot of the HP use reverse Polish notation instead of the standard Algerbic notation that Casios use.
After you learn it then switch to a HP but start out with what your teacher recommends.
It will make it a lot easier to on you to learn the subject matter he is teaching.

If you really want to stand out, use a slide rule. Now that is really bad a##! :)
As noted, the advantage by going with a Casio is that your instructor will be more able to assist you should you need help working it. If the math involved isn't much more than trigonometric functions, things tend to be similar across most calculators. So if you feel confident in being able to translate the operational differences on your own, and it isn't a financial setback if you later feel you made a mistake, then go for it!
In tandem with my TI graphing calc, I would sometimes use an old Sharp EL5100 calculator in class "just because I could." (Also because i knew how to program the Sharp and not the TI.)

HP calculators are far superior to anything else on the market. However, some of them use Reverse Polish Notation which takes some getting used to, but in the end is much faster than standard notation.

No, key sequences will be different. Even with different models of HP, key sequences are not identical....
You should get the same one as everyone else. It will make your learning much easier. I hope you don't choose your calculator because it looks better....
