Today while reading a few blogs i came across a blog about using math in life by James Holman (who happens to be my Algebra 1 teacher). As i read the article it asked detailed and significantly well thought questions, like what should we be teaching? Are there subjects that should be taught to students that would be more applicable to what they are going to see in their future? etc... So i thought to my self, should math be taught in schools today and if we do when are we going to use it? So i thought deeply for a minute or to and thought, yes math should be taught in schools today because in almost any job you have in your not so distant future you use math. My brother who is studying to be a Civil Engineer, uses math every night, he says its the most important subject you could ever learn if you want to be an engineer of any type. Also i thought even the military uses math frequently in taking measurements and wind speeds all the time for more accurate bullets. All in all the overall question is a hard question to think about.
