Yeah, I think it's uncalled for. If my compsci intro teacher did that, I would have failed that class epically

In my case they didn't mind, same for math programs (the way tests were written made those programs useless anyway), but as long as we do not play games instead of working on our school stuff.

As for Circle, I wonder if the trick actually works under OS 2.53/2.54MP?

Yup.  Works on OS 2.53 MP.

Well, over here, some teachers took people calc away for almost the entire school year when caught playing games instead of working. I'm not sure if it is legal where I live but if something like that happened to me, I would probably try to check if it's legal or not, as to me it's some form of stealing (ok if your parents take it away, but a stranger?)

i was going to show her, but didn't after she took a student's calculator away when the student made a program to do sigma notation (i lol'd, thinking of the sum(seq([EXP],[Var],[start],[end])) trick.

That sucks. Did she give it back at the end of class though? Because if she didn't thats stealing and she isn't allowed to do that, but if she gave it back if I were in the situation i might do it.(show the program i mean)

Actually most school districts it isn't illegal. It's a very complicated system but teachers are kind of like mini-dictators that can do what they want as long as it is given back eventually. That's not a very good explanation but I can't think of how to explain it. But it basically goes along with the same thing with when teachers take cell phones and iPods and such.

Ya, I learned about it in Government but I don't remember it all.
