You say that as if learning maths by hand/on paper is generally effective. Tell me that your peers aren't innumerate.

Most people have the world's knowledge in their pocket, including a calculator, and still can't tell you the original price of a $25.00 item that's 15% off. You're describing a general education problem.

I'm not saying you can't teach kids math on a computer, I'm saying I believe it's better not to.
