I was amazed (and appalled) at how early my kids were allowed and encouraged to use calculators.....for me,it was high school. My 5th grader uses a calculator in school now.
And sign me up for the "I never use cursive, I just print" club. Cursive ought to be given a brief unit in elementary school so those kids that take to it can continue to explore it. It shouldn't be overly emphasized, in my opinion.
