Am sithin' mad

You will never need to know algebra. I have never once used it and never once even rued that I could not use it.

Yeah, right. I'm a moron so it's not a big deal for everyone to be the same kind of a moron I am.

Why do I complain, though? As long as people are thinking something like that I'll have some means to pay my bills, after they come to me crying, unable to pass 'this damn class that is, o horror, required to get a diploma'.

You'll never need math. Yeah, right. Listen to him, girl, the country needs more cheap workers to do unqualified jobs.

I had a couple of student who wanted to enroll into the nursing program who told me something like: "I don't need math! Why would I need it? The doctor is writing a prescription. I just need to have God in heart and care for people."

Thankfully, our department chair and the dean don't share this view. :)

Oh well, the daughter of our frienda is applying to Canadian Med schools. Some of them consider extracurricular activities and "leadership" to be more important than MCAT results...

Yeah, there are schools like that here too, but guess how many people who graduate from them come through the lisence exam?
