Scientific or graphing calculator? What calculator should students buy?

As your children grow older their school supply lists will get shorter but it's not always cheaper.

One thing that could cause sticker shock to parents of middle and high school students is a specific calculator. Many schools prefer if students are provided with their own personal scientific calculator. For the most advanced math classes, like AP Calculus for example, a graphing calculator may be required.

What is the difference? A scientific calculator is able to perform functions beyond subtraction, subtraction multiplication and division. Scientific calculators typically have buttons specifically designed for parentheses, trigonometric functions, exponents, inverses and pi -- in addition to many other things.

A graphing calculator does even more. It'll feature a larger screen, allowing you to type in a specific function, then look at a graph of it.

The Best Purchase's Geek Squad agent Derek Meister states that scientific calculatorscan run from $10 to $60. Graphing calculators generally cost even more, somewhere between $80 to $150.Should back-to-school students buy technological or graphing calculators? (KOMO News)

However, Best Buy says you might not need to purchase one. Best Buy suggests consulting with your school first.

Harmony Weinberg, Edmonds School District's public relations and media supervisor she tells KOMO News each individual school decides on its own rules.

"For higher level classes, like AP Calculus, it is often expected that students have a handheld graphing calculator, such as TI-83, TI-84 or TI-89."

These calculators are perfect for AP tests. Weinberg adds that schools have a system to allow students to access calculators just like they check out textbooks if they don't have or chose not to purchase their own.

Within the Edmonds District School, the calculators are treated in a similar manner to textbooks, with regard to loss or damage, but aren't charged to use.

Another possibility could exist in the laptops that schools provide. Weinberg says at Edmonds "all students have access to scientific and graphing calculators through their district-issued Chromebook." The district encourages teachers to use Desmos online calculators, as these are used in state tests and also on state assessments.

West Seattle family says school policies on quarantine are biased against those who have not been vaccinated

SEATTLE A family from West Seattle say their young son was instructed to stay at home when they came in contact with people who had been tested positive for COVID-19. The incident prompted the family to claim that he was singled out and treated differently by the school district's officials due to the fact that the boy has not been vaccinated..

This week, a 12-year-old student at Denny International Middle School was exposed to someone in class who was diagnosed with COVID-19.

Officials at his school instructed the student to stay at home for two weeks because the vaccine he received was not up to date.

His relatives said they have discovered that, had he was vaccinated, the seventh grade student would not be compelled to miss classes as it was as long as he did not show signs of the disease.

"My kid has no symptoms," said Jeremy Gollyhorn, the boy's father. "He's totally healthy. Why can't he just get an unfavorable COVID test and come back to school?"

Gollyhorn said his son is being placed under a different set of standards than those who have had their shots, and even when he had a negative COVID-19 exam, the boy would not be allowed to return to school until the two-week quarantine time has ended.

Close contacts who are completely vaccinated and have no symptoms are not required to be quarantined and are able to return to class, though they are urged to get tested for the disease three to five days later to confirm.

Gollyhorn stated that it doesn't make sense.

"Vaccinated people can still spread COVID too so what's the difference there?" he stated.

A spokesperson stated that Seattle Public Schools is following guidelines on public health that are set by state officials.

Gollyhorn said the policy strips people of their freedom of choice. He also said that his family doesn't trust the vaccinations, and that situations like this only make him want to fight back.

Since Seattle Public Schools started the school year on Sept. 1st, the district has reported 117 positive COVID-19 cases and Denny International Middle School has had four positive cases reported in the time period.

It's unclear how many faculty and students were told to remain in quarantine because of exposures. However, those absences are considered to be excused.
