Answer 1

Everyone knows the S**t you learn in Middle school and up, no one is going to use in life. 4x(34^3)x + (53y)  ??? wtf... Who uses that S**t?

I took my History, sciences, math classes, week after school was over I don't remember 1 d**n thing from that class. You make the standards of school harder, You aren't going to make Americans smarter, You are going to make America have twice as much drop outs which means more Burger kings and McDonald's need to be built
