I agree that the 92 is best for advanced math, although I strongly
recommend it not be used in any classes lower than Algebra 2. The first
year of Algebra, in my opinion, should be calculator-less totally. Then,
the next year, a simple one should be used. Once a student gets to the
higher math, go ahead and use the mega-calcs. This is what I've done in
math classes, and it has worked out very well. I'm glad I can use the
calculator as a tool, and not a crutch.
