I have a difficult time paying attention in math class because i just don't know how i will apply the skills that i learn in that class to real life situations. I can understand learning simple math like addition, subtraction, division, and finding the perimeter of things. That stuff could be useful in many situations. As for other things like Pythagorean theorem are just a complete waste of time.
As a very wise man once said "that stuff is only useful if you are going to be a math teacher". You have to see where i am coming from, i mean would you want to sit through an hour and a half of a subject that you knew that you would never use again? Pythagorean theorem is not the only thing that i can think of as being unimportant, it was just the first thing that came to mind. I think it is just sad that everyone in today's education system has to learn the same things.
