People do not understand that learniing to perform algebra helps you understand physics and generally solve real life problems. This reminds me of the people who see no use at all for learning a language like Latin. I let such people know that learning some Latin helped me understand English and language as a whole.

That is correct. My son took 4 years of Latin in high school and tested into junior level Latin in his first year of college. This is the one that had to tech himself high school math.
