Do you think students in elementary school, middle school, and/or high school are too reliant on calculators? What prompted me to ask this question is the fact that a teller at a grocery store needed the assistance of a calculator to tally up how much change she needed to give me because she entered the wrong amount into the cash register. Also, it is obvious that Walgreens does not trust its employees because it has automatic change machines. Is this just a great advancement in technology, a move to get cheaper unskilled labor, or a sign that people are unable to do basic math in their heads? If people cannot do basic math in their heads then who is to blame?
