lol. You think not having algebra is not patriotic. You are a nut. Funny but crazy. Nobody really needs that unless math. I would rather they get into investment and banking class or budget a household.....useful information that can help students later in life. They teach to many useless classes.
Not sure if you’re joking, but not only Algebra but a whole host of subjects are very useful in life. Just not all the time and in ways that cannot be anticipated.
Electricians never needed geometry before. Now (I’m told) those principles are applied daily in their work. A decade or two ago math was thought by them as ‘useless’. Today they need to know it to keep their job.
Not to mention mastering various levels of mathematics sharpens one’s thinking.
