Our Educational System
I just can't begin to understand why we're trying to teach 14 year old girls algebra. I mean, seriously? WTF? I have a degree in math, and I've never used it. Beyond calculating mpg or the price per ounce of groceries, the average person doesn't use math and doesn't need to spend countless hours trying to learn it.
Jennifer should be learning an art...should be learning to draw or paint or something useful. But to teach the kids math beyond what they've learned is absolutely useless. A complete waste of time and energy.
