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.

A compass and straightedge construction is a method used in geometry to create figures using only a compass and a straightedge, without the use of measurement tools. The compass is used for drawing circles and arcs, while the straightedge is utilized for drawing straight lines. This technique is foundational in classical geometry, allowing for the construction of various geometric shapes and figures, such as triangles, squares, and angles, based solely on specific geometric principles. Notably, some classical problems, like squaring the circle or doubling the cube, have been proven impossible using only these tools.
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.

To construct a hexagon, you need a compass, a straightedge (ruler), and a pencil. Start by drawing a circle with the compass; the radius will determine the size of the hexagon. Then, using the same radius, mark off six equal points around the circle's circumference, which will serve as the vertices of the hexagon. Finally, connect these points with straight lines to complete the hexagon.
