RE: Calculator Wars at your School
I was the last holdout of my peers to use a slide rule, and they showed a degree of mystery and respect about it. As for graphing, it seems to me that usually if you need a graph, you probably don't understand it, and the graph won't really help. Our kids were required to get graphing calculators in high school. The older one took my old TI-59 and did better than the kids who had graphing calcs. My wife bought the younger one the TI-83, but he never used it for graphing. Both of them said that the other kids mainly used the graphing calcs to play games. This was before smartphones.
