Another Day of Not Using Pythagorean Theorem: Was High School Pointless?

42:10 Sep 30, 2020
About this episode
Alex and Khelil discuss high school education and how useful(useless) it has been in their day to day lives.   Why do we force kids to learn Calculus and Pythagorean theorem instead of personal finance and how to do taxes? Wouldn't it be better to have general high school education force kids to learn things that every adult member of society has to do in their life at one point or the other? Shouldn't specialized classes like Calculus and Latin be offered as electives? Has forced reading of classic novels turned us off to reading for enjoyment/fulfillment?
