By maintaining a monopoly on the graphing calculator market, Texas Instruments has been able to sell more than 75 million graphing calculators since 1990 and essentially charge a premium on all of them. But that’s now changing.

This week's Student of the Week is Sebastian Y!
Music aficionado, fashion savant, circus wizard... Sebastian is a man of many interests and talents. It's so easy to talk to Sebastian because there are so many things to talk ABOUT with him (guess it helps that I also love music and men's fashion). Throw in his great sense of humour and it's pretty obvious why I love having Sebastian in my class. What a guy! One of the things I love best about Sebastian is his amazing friendship with Izzy (and Mr Sinclair hehehe). Those two are such an awesome pair (even when Sebastian sticks clay in Izzy's hair). They are always on the "same page", so to speak. They share many of the same opinions. They laugh at all the same things. They help each other out in class and hang out after. It's pretty heart-warming (though I'm sure they'll cringe at that) to watch. Sebastian seems like one of those people who will truly excel AFTER high school. I know that most of his classes (apart from Art) are probably less than totally inspiring for him. He does well, for sure, but imagine what he will achieve when he is doing something he is passionate about. He is smart, he is personable, he is funny. I'm sure that great things are in his future. Sebastian, thanks for all your hard work this year in Foundations 12. As I said, it might not be your favourite class (in terms of the material) but you have really done an excellent job. I love your independent attitude and your unique style. Never lose it! Good luck to you, Sebastian! These pictures are adorable. Everyone looks so happy!! And Simone was so excited. She was staring at the pictures on Zan's phone and waving back at you all!!!
