So typically what age were you allowed to use these in school?
It stands to trump my argument if it was young enough. What's the difference between a
calculator and a slide rule from one perspective?

This leads me to my belief that I was the last slide
rule teacher.? In 1975, in Ghana, I was teaching A level math as a Peace Corps teacher.?
We had a whole section on slide rule calculations.? Thanks to some agency, I think UNICEF,
we had one of those 6 foot long rules that mounted at the front of the class.? The kids
really caught on quick and it was a lot of fun.? Especially as the students figured out
other things they could do.
