Well only if you want to say build anything that requires any engineering or physics. Little things like cars, roads, bridges, airplanes, every piece of military equipment, and well basically everything in your home and that you encounter in the world.

“ I mean, we use Algebra everyday.”

Yes we do. College educated people he’s talking about. Algebra is applied logic. You don’t use the equations every day but in learning algebra logic pathways in the brain are created

Grammar uses algebra. Sentences are equations. People in certain jobs have to be able to use basic logic, grammar, communication skills. They cannot. My boss, tge peoplke o work with. They are illogical, they can’t spell they can’t figure out basic fairness in dividing up workload. They don’t know that when you overwork people they quit creating a ridiculous turnover of professionals

Anyway it’s not the pandemic.

Parents are absolutely responsible for their children’s education. If everyone gets to be stupid our country will fail. And look what we have.
