Ralph058 (S/he/it) AF4EZ@ZachWeinersmith I spent yesterday going back a year in Non Sequitur. I am doomed to do that with Random today.
Grégoire Locqueville@ZachWeinersmith You had me at "Was made to read King Lear and have never once had to divide a kingdom between daughters!"

Job@ZachWeinersmith as a physics drop-out I have to boost this for the bonus panel alone
Henodude@ZachWeinersmith why do people always say learning algebra is pointless? That's like the least pointless thing
There are so many other, much more pointless things in school (I had to do square dancing) but people only complain about math
Alopece@ZachWeinersmith If you ever did need to divide a kingdom between daughters, King Lear would not be the best reference.
katfeete@ZachWeinersmith I’ve heard good arguments that certain things like calculus shouldn’t be taught at the high school level (the argument was we should be teaching statistics instead, particularly how to analyze statistics in media.)
Algebra though — I’m an English geek and even I think that’s way too important a building block. It teaches you how to THINK in math.

@ZachWeinersmith Understanding why something is taught seems to be an exercise left to the reader.
✨pencilears✨@ZachWeinersmith hilariously I went to art school because I could barely wrap my head around algebra and I thought this was a low-math field, but picture framing is one of the few jobs where you frequently have to solve for X and Y by hand.
