Mathematics education is useless. Discuss (16)

Right, what is the point in Math education when computers exist and they can do MATH REALLY REALLY QUICKLY So why do we need sweaty children and post-16 students to calculate something when a computer can do it so much faster. Is it worth giving students MIND FISSURES just so they can learn something so useless? Shouldnt a STUDENT be able to do maths only if it is in the profession they wish to follow?

If you think manually calculating is what maths is about, then you haven't really paid attention in class?

A calculator is useless if you don't know how to use it.

I wouldn't call solving a maths problem a "mind fissure" either

I agree with you. It can be quite rewarding to solve a maths problem!

But I didnt mention the use of just calculators, I mentioned computers, pretty sure I could know how to do whatever you mentioned above with a quick Google search. Better get off your high horse now, Machines are going to replace mathematicians and take your F****** JOBS.

If that ever happens it will be with the help of mathematicians.

Yeah but you would still have to physically google and learn it. My maths teacher always says that the calculator is only as smart as the person who uses it.

I disagree, obviously god created us and therefore the creation of the internet is a creation of GOD.
