They should be required to use drawing programs because they are more efficient and kids understand them better.

You use a compass to draw an accurate circle.
Compass. Needle point with adjustable gauge and pencil holder.
Constructing geometric figures means with the help of a compass, protractor and a scale with accurate measurement. Drawing may just be drawing rough figures with no accurate measurement.

You might not understand angles and shapes as well with a drawing program, even though it requires a little bit more effort with a compass and straightedge. You would just create shapes without understanding how they were made or what the postulates and theorems and stuff mean. To sum it up, each have their own problems and advantages, but using a compass and a straightedge lets you see deeper into the way shapes and angles work :) ugh I hate using a compass and straightedge in geometry lol :)>
A circle and perpendicular lines can be constructed using the given tools.
To construct a copy of an angle using only a compass and a straightedge, start by drawing a base line and marking a point on it where the vertex of the new angle will be located. Next, place the compass point on the vertex of the original angle, draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle, and mark the intersection points. Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on the new vertex and draw a similar arc that intersects the base line. Finally, use the straightedge to draw lines from the new vertex through the intersection points, creating a copy of the original angle.

For drawing a circle.
For navigation, it shows you what direction you are facing. In drawing, it is a device for drawing circles.
