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.

Oh, yeah.

"Most of math can now be done by a computer or a calculator."

Sure... I recall how a guy like that was presenting me my tuition bill... He looked at the computer screen (a couple of numbers in $200-s and three more two-digit numbers), added them on his calculator, and proudly gave me the resulting $700+ bill. I was speechless, so I just muttered something, left and came back another day to pay the bill...

Oh, and the guy had (of course!) a BA diploma proudly displaysed on the wall of his cubicle! Grrr!

If only all of THEM would carry suitcases or mowing the grass! Lots of'em are calculating your bills or doing other (rather important for your life) stuff. :(

Remind me one day to tell you about the student who was complaining to my supervisor about me because I told her she doesn't need a calculator to add 15 and 6. :)
