Nobody really uses these and the functions can be quite difficult to get your head around, especially if all the teachers are using Casio's.
You are not allowed your phone for exams such as GCSE, A levels, City & Guilds, etc... So schools and colleges (especially schools) do not allow phones. Heat added.
This certainly isn't a hot deal that people are going to dash out and buy (because they will almost always be able to get something similar for about the same or less) but it is a perfectly good item for next to nothing - what a wonderful place we live in.
It is a pity there isn't a 'lukewarm' button, because I'd have used it for this item, so I've added a little bit of heat instead.

With respect, that is a bit of a daft comment: the Sharp is perfectly easy to use for anyone able to understand (say) logarithmic functions (and if not why would one need a scientific calculator).
There is no apostrophe in Casios (assuming one is using it in the plural (as you were) and not in the genitive case).

Well maybe, but I really dislike this dumbing down of maths through teaching by rote. The calculators will produce the same answers, so it is just getting used to the buttons rather than understanding what a function does. Any A level (or GCSE as long as it is the proper syllabus and not the foundation one) maths student should be able to adjust quickly between one calculator (or any tool: slide rule, log tables, computer program ...) and another.
If you are right about MAdam98's age then he needs to pay more attention in the English lessons as well as his maths!

This is a scientific calculator with 469 functions and direct direct algebraic logic. Does the calculator app on your phone have those functions?
Not sure of 469 functions but this is what the phone can do
The scientific calculator I had at school in the 80s was more sophisticated than that
Dementia is a cruel thing.
And
I wonder if some Countries still use an abacus?
Erm, I'm not a big fan of putting 99 after my name so I thought to use a 98!
Fair enough, my English grammar isn't what it used to be. (I do understand the difference between nominative, vocative, genitive, dative, accusative and ablative cases though!)
I can understand your viewpoint and to an extent agree however many students simply wouldn't bother to learn how to use a different calculator.
I do feel though that the Casio is the most simple to use.
