Interesting posts from all of you guys.
You all seem to generally reject the long-term use of the abacus as an effective teaching tool. Thats fair enough.
What Franny said makes sense, too much drilling or overuse can cause the pupils to become spasticated in other areas. I agree.
Mole, you mentioned something about the fact that you used an abacus at an early age. For how long was this? And how frequently in a week would you use it?
In conclusion. I agree that the long term use can start to make negative effects. However, if it were used in all primary schools for 3 sessions a week, it would be quite effective in teaching pupils how maths works (to a minimal extent).
