The curriculum that current students are taught is a joke. The education system wastes more time teaching kids about dividing complex fractional quadrilaterals (which they will never again use or see in life after the teachers chapter quiz) than we teach them about reading a map, being able to feed themselves or bartering on the price of a large purchase.

You need a course to learn how to use a fork, a piece of paper and buying things?

We spend so much time filling kids heads with math and history crap that they will never, ever use in real life that they have had no time being taught or learning real skills that you use on a daily basis. They don't remember the garbage being taught anyway and then they come out of high school knowing how to "kinda" use a calculator and how to not get caught smoking a joint outside the school smoke doors. It's sad and the q-tips that run the educational system are more clueless about it than the kids in class.

You know, math is important. It's funny that you bring up quadratics, like it's something complex. It's trivial. Christ, matrixes are more complex, and they're trivial. Yet you wouldn't have your purdy video games without them.
History is important, kiddo. You know, World Wars, the history of stolen extension cords.
