Fan Min-hsiu, a sixth grade teacher at the Kuting elementary school, points out, "Beginning last year, the complicated repeating calculations have already been cut out of fifth and sixth grade texts, with kids now allowed to use electronic calculators. Even if there are calculations, they don't go past the hundreds place."
古亭國小六年級老師范民琇指出，「去年開始，國小五、六年級數學課本，已把繁瑣的反覆計算內容刪除，改教小朋友使用電子計算機；即使要計算，頂多也只做到百位數。」
