It wasn’t that you learned these things that was the problem. It was the omission of other things that should have been taught as well.
Maybe sin cos and ran functions were something you didn’t end up needing but other core skills on how to think critically and operate in the world could have augmented it or just been the takeaway.
Looking back there was a LOT of free time that could have been allocated to learning more.
I think some kids don't give a shit and are bad at things like this, and are made to feel bad about that with bad grades and sometimes no diploma. I think kids can start specializing by high school in what they like and their strengths
Oh I agree. This one size fits none bullshit that we constantly fund is garbage and I can’t fathom the opportunity cost on someone who could have thrived somewhere getting wrecked and labeled as a poor student (read: terrible peon).
