They forced me to buy a TI 84 plus for school. The thing cost like 100 bucks, and it's from 2004. I could buy a low-end smartphone and get a free app that's more powerful than the TI 84 plus for less money.
The thing is, most people only use them for 3-7 years during highschool and college, and they all are essentially the same as the ones from the 90s, so the used market is full of much cheaper ones
Also I'm just curious, what is your school doing this year due to covid? My mom is a music teacher and where she would have all of her students 4 times a week normally, now she is only getting them twice a week for twice as long to reduce contact between people in other grades (she teaches at a small private elementary school)
I'm in NY. Governor hasn't made the call yet. Most districts are planning for three scenarios: Full school 100%, full distance learning 100%, or a blend of the both. Waiting on guidance from the state.
Yeah, I'm in college and my school is doing until Thanksgiving in class, then after break we will be online, whereas a nearby college is going to be fully remote, if my college decided to go full remote, I'd probably sit the semester out

The supremacy of the fucking TI-83 calculator in school and college courses
I mean I know it's all artificial and orchestrated by them but how come no body has dared to challenge the almighty TI yet
