@wa_ild if anything math is the hardest one to disprove
social studies is literally useless except for becoming a social studies teacher...

you never hear someone smart say this type of nonsense. you can thank this useless math for most of the groundbreaking tools, designs, and inventions we have today.

@Cizox most of it we need but some of it is pointless
Explain to me why I can't learn to do taxes in school, but I get to learn how math number puzzles work.

Everyone probably didnt understand the title
"60% of Math"
I know there's so many topics that are crucial, but alot of math is pointless.

Still don't teach us how to do them.
Also why am I learning how to do number puzzles?

you dont understand income tax? w-2 forms? 1040 forms? where your deductions go? how interest rates work? what are certificates of deposit? thankfully, you live in an age where all that can be searched

And if everything can be searched we don't need school.

school teaches fundamental concepts. that is why your four core courses are math, science, english, and history. school is not designed to teach specialized knowledge, like how to do taxes. that is up to you, and shouldnt be an argument as to why school doesn't teach it. plus a large portion of schools do teach it, and it's called personal finance

Ok what this means is to fix the system. Not to remove it, the education system is highly flawed in what they teach us.

I didn't make the thread. Me and the op probably have different opinions, and i'm pretty sure that the "pointless" is an exageration.

If you want any job better than the most basic of basic, you will need to use equations to get real world estimates.
If you want a good job, you must be good enough with numbers to create those estimates.
If you want a great job, you must be good enough to collect those data points, and create those estimates.

all math has a purpose pls dont go talking crap regarding things you don't know about
are you an aerospace engineer? no, you're barely learning anything as it is; you have no idea what professions such as those require |

if you're going to do anything in the business major, you better memorize basic algebra.

Not everyone will have those types of jobs though. Rendering most of what we learn pointless for people. Calculus is a prime example. People barley use it, and if you do then I think you should CHOOSE to learn it. School should only require you to learn basic maths and some. Cut out social studies, and make science optional. For english you should learn writing, but reading a bunch of stories is kinda pointless.

Even in a job as basic as construction you need to know algebra, higher end in the field you will need to know how to create equations to estimate resources/hours/etc

| I could agree with the schools doing a better job, but that does not mean carving the current education system without increasing knowledge. " reading a bunch of stories is kinda pointless" ### ### ## ##### |

Never said to take out algebra. Keep algebra but get rid of the higher up stuff

you're making it seem like the things you learn from 9-12 are on par when compared to real life professions
regarding subjects like calculus, taking AP calc is completely optional. one of the reasons it exists is for students to have the opportunity to challenge themselves with abstract concepts. in addition, it strengthens your college application because it shows you are willing to take it upon yourself to think on a higher level |

if you want to choose to stay ignorant about the world around you by only wanting to learn about the things you do need, then that is your problem. maybe they teach you these things for a greater reason; a reason you should wait until you are older to understand.

| And as the math and other studies gets harder your brain gets more advanced and smarter so you are able to go through being adult with a complex mind that can multi task and do smart things and do your job correctly because of the basic things you learn and thing is ######### now. |
