I never went to school or university to learn obsolete or unnecessary things.

Math, starting from a certain point, is useless for most people, still it is required to be learnt. Math might be a good tool to measure how good a person can think abstractly, but if it's used for that, then be honest and say so.

I wonder what would change in society if we forced all children to learn an instrument as intensive as we force them to learn math.
