Graphing calculators are 100% necessary, we used them regularly for sine wave and logarithmic functions to pinpoint specific plot values on a graph. A $9 calculator doesn't cover that.

EDIT: Getting downvoted for this is crazy work, they literally would list the Ti-85 in our school supplies list.

Question, were you a student in Quebec?

Quebec, no, but in Alberta. I'd be surprised if the curriculum there didn't touch on topics requiring graphing calculators though since it was just about all we did in 11th and 12th grade math class. It was quite literally a necessity to have the Ti ones specifically too since everything was taught using inputs for the things.
