So I have to get a calculator.  A GRAPHING calculator (oh, god, mom bit my head off all the way home about how she had to spend 50 bucks for a calc.  She got me one of the shitty cheap ones.  >.>  The ones like I SHOULD be using area bout 100 bucks, but she refused to get me one.  PERIOD)

The freaking manual is thicker than the freaking calcuator. @-@

I have a TI-84 Silver Edition, my mom spent $120 on a calculator she KNEW I would need for Geometry and Pre-Calculus next year (I didn't know she got it for me until it came in the mail one day)...when in doubt...E-bay is good to find new calculators! ;)

Complain to your teachers that your calculator sucks, let them look at it, then complain and tell your mom she needs to buy an expensive one.

...that is, if it doesn't work right and is stopping you from completing your work correctly.

I tried to get my mom to get me a 95 dollar plain old TI-38 in 8TH GRADE for Algebra 1.  She was like "no, it's too expensive."

Freshman year.  Geometry.  "No it's too expensive."  This time I just tried to get her to get me a graphic calc period.  I didn't care what brand anymore.

This year.  "GOD DAMN IT OKAY.  BUT THAT TEACHER CAN SHOVE IT UP HER ASS.  IT'S LIKE THROWING 50 BUCKS OUT THE WINDOW FOR WHAT...THREE MONTHS?"

^I only need Alg 1/2 ang Geometry to graduate^

I facepalmed.  Hard.
Then when I tried explaining that getting me a graphing calc in EIGHTH GRADE LIKE I ASKED wouldn't have made it so useless to get one for me to use for three months, then not touch again till college, she bit my head off like crazy.  O_o

That plan's already gone down the drain, cause mom was like "and if that teacher doesn't like it because it's not a TI, give her directions to our house, and I'll bend over so she can kiss my ass."  exact words.

And the later was my excuse for getting it this time.
I got a 60 in Alg. 2 on my report card.  Mom freaked out, and I explained that we use a graphing calc for almost everything, and I couldn't do my hw cause I didn't have one, and she doesn't teach us how to do it manually, because we're allowed to use the calc on the final exam.  We aren't allowed to check them out from the school because we share with like two other math classes.  @-@

Shouldn't they have told you you needed that BEFORE the year started? @_@

Yeah.  But she said a "scientific" calc, so mom got me a cheapass 15 buck one without graphing functions.
We've been graphing since the second week of this semester.  >.>
So I've gotten maybe like 2 HW assignments turned in, and those were the ones I had time in class to do.

Your calculator sucks unless you can play Galaga on it.

FUUU-
Yeah, that's the kind my teacher wanted everyone to get, and mom was like
FUCK NO I'M NOT PAYING 100 DOLLARS FOR A CALCULATOR.

You can still write BOOBS on it though.

A TI-83 works great too, I'm in a program where graduation requirments are either Calculus (Pre-Calc in 11th or 10th grade) or Statistics!

Ok... we'll need 5 blackhawk helicopters, 4 Echo1 M4 airsoft guns, an Airsoft AK, an Airsoft Glock, and a tank...

My calc...

It was given to my teacher to hold on to while we took the ISATs...

Two weeks later, I still don't have it back. @_@
