Get rid of calculators and public education should not issue IPAD in classroom

Public schools needs to have teachers that take away calculators and I-Pads in the classroom.  I remember when I attended public school in the 1970, 1980's in Snoqualmie Valley, Cle Elum-Roslyn and Kodiak Island we were not allowed to use calculators in the classroom.  If the teacher caught us they would be taken away from the student.  I-Pads should not be furnished by the school.  What ever happened to pad and pencil to take notes.  If a kid uses an I-Pad it should be provided by the parent not the school.  Get the government out of education.  Get the calculators out of the classroom.  Use the brain that is the what the mind is for thinking.  I did not like it when I was helping students at the Alaska Native Cultural Charter after school program School and Anchorage School District the students were using calculators for math problems.  I wanted to confront the teachers for not challenge the students by using the brain.  Kudos to Marysville School District north of Seattle for not allowing I-Pads in school their students will be the smartest in the Washington State.  For the Warped Education Association (WEA) watch those test score go sky high. School officials listen to the parents they pay the bills you don't follow Marysville's lead.
