Teachers are all in shock

*teachers screaming everywhere*

So Does That Mean All This Time Our World Was Not Real

And this thing called Taxes that none of us know what the hell they are

I hate when people say this. I was at the store and the checker outer lady needed to figure out 5%. Before my daughter and the checker outer lady could whip out their phones/calculators, I had it figured out.

"You will need to memorize what's inside a cell!!! You will need this in the future more than you will need to know how to pay bills!!"

I remember taking one of those state tests that (fortunately) had no relation to my grades. It was just to see how we were doing. On the front of the test, it says "Use of calculators is permitted". But because there were less than a handful of students in the class who didn't have calculators, our teacher made EVERYONE put our calculators away. "John is painting the neighborhood homes for money. If he charges $1.07 per cubic yard of house, how many nachos will Bill need to sell in order to get to the train she is meeting in Topeka?" That is about what some of the questions looked like on a high school state test. If you had your TI graphing calculator, that question would have made perfect sense, but alas, we went without.
TL;DR Calculators save lives.

I once bought two beers from one of those cash-only stands in a bar and paid with a $20. Instead of giving me my $14 back, the girl pulled out her phone and I actually thought she was texting- no, she needed a calulator. Please learn basic math at least!
