Yep, in the USA they often do. The little buggers are packing laptops, iPads, and iPhones. It is a wonder they get around to actually learning anything. In my day we had to use slide rules in math class. Even in college we were not allowed to use the new TI electronic pocket calculators that had just hit the market. The profs were afraid we would program the answers into them. Now a days though USA school kids rely on computers and calculators. That is why McDonald's and other fast food restaurants have to use special cash registers with pictures on them instead of numbers! The kids who work at McDonald's cannot add numbers. I think we went way overboard in the use of computerized aids for school kids because now they cannot even add well, much less work calculus equations.
