A few notes

I had a fairly decent-sized post written up about calculators and computers in classrooms in response to this story, but it got eaten. Let me quickly point out my conclusions which were that we should avoid an over-reliance on electronic aids in school early on, since I don't think it teaches people how to do stuff (there should be no mathematical knowledge which is taught with an electronic aid until it's mastered by hand first).

Next, hope everyone has a good Easter or Passover or weekend, depending on your religious views.

Third, Go Habs Go! Massive game coming up tomorrow, and it should be exciting. Montreal needs to win to clinch, or just make it to OT if NYI doesn't win both their games left. It would be sweet to have it tied late and for Montreal to score the game winner into an empty net to clinch.

That's all I've got to say for now.
