Way too long for them to figure it out. ;-)

Teachers over the years won't let children to use calculators - same story / 
excuse - these toys will make you lazy and lower your yearpoint.

Alas - Here in the USA they often DO allow kids to use calculators in school.  
As a consequence we now have an entire generation that is incapable of 
something as simple as counting back the change for your McLunch.

Anyone ever read the short story The Feeling of Power by Isaac Asimov?
Covers this conundrum perfectly.
