Calculations about Calculators; Attrition from a School of Choice.
Bracey, Gerald W.
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n6 p473-74 Feb 1998
Presents conflicting legislation on calculator usage in California and Virginia, and summarizes research favoring students' use of calculators while taking tests and solving classroom exercises or real-world problems. Another research study shows that stayers in school choice programs are likely to have chosen the school, have friends in the program, and perform better than leavers. (MLH)
