I had a maths teacher who upon being asked, whats the point in maths? Or whenever he heard I'm not going to use this in the rest of my life! Would break into a ten minute speech. You have to study maths because what it is at it's core is just doing the same thing over and over again with slight variations. -more waffle I can't remember- and after school you will go off to some job where you do the same thing over and over again where you will spend the next 60 years of your life. And then you die.
It got quite depressing.
"No John, you probably won't ever have to use trigonometry in your life. But some of the smart kids probably will"
Man, that just makes me hate how maths is taught
