Found out why we have to use actual calculators in school

Turns out that Texas Instruments provides services to college board, so you have to use calculators in class instead of phones or computers which are way better. Also why you have to use TI products on SATs and AP tests, do that’s cool. The list of reasons the College Board is corrupt only grows...

  • Calculators, computers and phones are ok. But all the cool kids use an abacus. (≧艸≦*)

    • You know that’s the least suspect thing about college board right?

      • I’m in the middle. I think if they can prove you aren’t cheating you should be allowed to do whatever, but how could they prove you aren’t cheating. No one is gonna use a lockdown browser or whatever for a calculator

        • Oddly enough, I just found my old slide rule while going through an old box of stuff. Also a bottle of ink, a Japanese pagoda in clear resin, a receipt for a 28mm lens - dated 1972, and a wind telltale for a Hobie Cat.

          • TI calculators are [i]leagues[/i] better than a phone app. Even just the TI84+ is amazing. [spoiler]Sorry, all out of salt.[/spoiler]

            • The thing about using phones is that they can connect to the internet, and thus they can be used to look up answers to cheat. Even the ASVAB doesn’t allow them. It’s logical. Plus for the SAT some Casio models were allowed, at least when I took it. So it isn’t really that they’re in cahoots College Board is stupid, but not necessarily for that reason

              • Idk, phone calculator sucks, and TI's are pretty decent. Moving the type thing and being able to delete one digit instead of the whole number -- Plus you really think people aren't gonna try cheat or do something else when given the option to use their phone or computer?
