Truth is, I currently stay in an area where majority teenagers and youth cannot successfully type or construct a simple sentence correctly without the use of google translation. I see them marauding on the street as big boys. Sometimes I laugh, like big boys without sense. Majority without certificate or skills, just yahoo yahoo. Sometimes I want to tell them that it’s not hate but I pity the future of these ones.

Back to the use of calculator at elementary classes, that is literally a bad idea, cos till date, simple arithmetics that I can solve offhand, majority of the high school students today will need a calculator to solve. And it saddens my heart when I see that most of them cannot solve simple arithmetics without the use of calculator. It’s a disaster in disguise when machines have to replace our critical thinking and the use of our common sense.

You're trapped in the past. I code with ai now. Does that make me lazy? No!
Facts is... what you want to do with the results is more important than the result itself. Save time, save energy and hit the nail on the head

Stop derailing, you are a smart person for being into coding. We are talking about people who can’t construct simple sentence and the bad side of using calculator in elementary classes here, so rest.

Please sir, can you give us a reason why people are not smarter?

before the invention of the calculator.
Students do" thorough"calculations to arrive at a solution or answer unlike when calculator was invented,calculators started doing the job of thinking for us.
Thereby shutting down the part of the Brain tasked with doing such job .
Biologically,of you stop using an organ,it starts dying.
In biology,there is no stagnancy or dormancy.
It is either growing or dying
