A parent whose child goes to a high school in the Wake County Public School System has been sued after criticizing the math curriculum used in the district.
Utah-based "Mathematics Vision Project" or "MVP," filed a lawsuit against Blain Dillard, whose son attends Green Hope High in Cary.
Dillard has been vocal about his opposition to the MVP curriculum, which is student-driven and focuses on group work, posting on his website, blog and social media.
The lawsuit obtained by ABC11 said, "In or around March 2019, Dillard commenced a crusade against MVP, claiming that MVP is ineffective and has harmed many students."
It alleges that some of Dillard's statements were false and defamatory and harmed the company financially.

You can get analogue watches with slide rule bezels for exactly this scenario - ten times faster than an app. But, in the dark, and faced with making the decision in front of a queue, I would go with tables every time.
If you can't multiply without a phone, you WILL be ripped off. (But are probably to ignorant to notice).
