Cheat Sheet or Not?

[graylocks]

in my son's high school, and many other schools from what i gather in casual conversation, students are provided with a sheet of formulas to refer to when taking a math test. including final exams. my son asked me if this was the case back in my day. my answer was a resounding Hell, No! my school never even have open book tests which i'm not opposed to for some testing during the term. but a cheat sheet, essentially, for a final - oh , please, has the world gone mad!

so, am i just an aging curmudgeon or does this concern anyone else? or both...
