Recently since we have come back to school we have been put to work right away. Currently we take economics, the study of scarcity of resources. This is where supply and demand takes place, as well as living in a capitalist society. Capitalism is where trading and industry is controlled by private owners instead of the state. Also we began to jump in deviation in statistics. Deviation is statistics is how far a number is from the mean. We have learned how to calculate the range and mean of each of the deviation.
To be honest I understand that some components of all these classes we are currently taking part in has some value in our lives down the line, but others I really don't understand why I have to sit through this. In College Readiness we have talked about the importance of college, but why do I have to listen to lessons in class, but never will use in my life. I asked my brother who graduated from college, how many times has somebody asked you about Pythagorean Theorem? 0 was his answer.
True, you may not need the Pythagorean theory again in life, but you may need the thinking skills it requires to understand and use the Pythagorean theory.
