I think teaching young students math with pocket calculators is a bad idea, compared to a slide rule, which really forces you to THINK about the problem, than just get dumbed down to a computer.
I Agree but I think the reason it was slide rules only when I was in school was economic. Calculators were new and expensive. Not everyone could afford one.
