The calculator thing is less about making you an idiot or whatever shady shit the GATEniggers were up to and more because the maths becomes less about learning and familiarizing yourself with basic arrithmatic (which is why you got in trouble for using a calculator in primrary school; you needed to intuitively understand + and - and whatnot) and more about different ways to use basic arrithmatic. This means that a) they no longer give a fuck how quickly you can solve 420X69 in your head and b) the class will complete the work faster and therefore learn more by using calculators.
