Tell me, how could you have made this without being taught how to read and write? How could you count the number of words using you used without knowing numbers? Can you use variables on a normal calculator? Can your intuition tell you what a rational number is? What an irrational number is? How would you be able to do your job without needing a calculator to do so? How will you able to predict your profits and taxes and other important variables and numbers? How will you get hired if you don't even know basic knowledge? How would you be able to develop English and speaking skills? How will you learn to write persuasively? How will you know what math operation to use? How will you develop social skills? How will you know how to have friends? How will you know how to operate technology? How will you be able to do quick calculations? how will you know how to buy one product or service over the other? How will you be able to count? How will you able to get a job? What will you do with the extra six to eight hours every day of your life? School can and will improve you in many more ways than that, and it is your fault that you hate school try doing something to make it better. Please, what are your parents' jobs? Did they simply choose to get what they wanted? No, they had to prove that they will be able and better than others to get that job, knowing how to use a calculator is not going to be better than others. Remember, in real, REAL, life everyone, EVERYONE, wants to see you fail so they can win. hehehe I wrote that in about 3 minutes.
