    I know it drives me mad, i don't think I'll ever use it, I suppose the same could be said for Algebra but Shakespeare's quotes probably won't help me at all.

    I can kinda understand algebra and geometry for people going into construction and things like that, but I think that it shouldn't be a required course since lots of jobs/careers won't use most of it.

    Depends on what grade I was in. in 7th grade, everyone was annoyed by the English teacher. I swear, she chose the topics that made us feel as guilty as possible, she chose assignments about how "screen time affects children". She even made us read a book called A Long Walk to Water like she was MAKING US TAKE WATER FOR GRANTED.

    Oh God, where to start.

    This year, my least favorite class is probably French. The teacher has us do too much bullshit instead of really learning it. English is also pretty dumb sometimes, interpreting Shakespeare and all that.

    Last year, my math teacher was an actual nut. It seemed like every other day there was a new seating chart and procedure. She had us use 3-4 different websites, each for a few weeks at a time before seeming to forget about them forever. She got half the example problems wrong on the board. Also, last year, my computer class teacher was pretty bad. She was obsessed with "cheaters" and would have paranoid anti-cheating rules.

    we cant bring any electronic devices in my school, except for digital class like me. so we bring a tablet instead of books. so listening music and all something like that is forbidden

    This discussion can be summed up by 1 song. Which I agree with.

    I fucking hate math, it's nice to learn, but fricking hell. Am I going to be using the bloody Side Angle Side triangle later on in life?

    Algebra and geometry are fundamental for any engineering career, for example.
    And there are always pointless things in school that you have to learn, but what's useless to you (english) might be someone else's future. Maybe a future writer will discover their passion by learning about classic literature, for example.
    Nobody's going to ask you to solve a SAS triangle in a professional envoirment, but it might be one of the tools you'll use to solve the bigger problem. For example if you become a software engineer nobody is gonna ask you to solve a differential equation, but that equation might be the key to working out the wider problem that you have to solve.

    So much this. As a programmer, if you know math you have a much easier time coming up with a viable solution to a problem instead of coming up with bullcrap workarounds. I imagine that this is how it works in different areas as well, where people don't think they'll use the math they learned ever.

    As a programmer yes. I aim on becoming a mechanic or an engineer. But do you think I'll ever use a calculation to find out the length of sizes on a triangle while working on a car? Sorry if it sounds sarcastic.

    If you become an engineer, you'll need pretty much all the math you learn. As a mechanic, you won't really need any maths, but honestly if you're still in school I'd recommend that you aim a little higher...

    Not saying you will use that while working on a car but for example I've used that just last week to calculate the distance of a golf ball from a hole in a C code assignment.
