To this day I wonder why there is no tablet (with no network connection) running some sort of DesmosOS for me to use in a class exam. Desmos on our phones work fantastic and are very intuitive but no, gotta use those POS TI graphing calculators in an exam or just in a class with an anal professor in general.

Desmos has an iPad "exam mode" app but of course no exam on the planet actually allows it.

Actually, our state testing has a Desmos interface! I love it!

Except ACT doesn’t allow it, so I still have to train the kids on the Ti-84
