If you need finances in life, then you need algebra. You would need it to figure out how to pay off loans/mortgages and how to save/invest. Not sure why we keep telling our kids that math is hard and unnecessary. Being ignorant is harder and more expensive.
I certainly needed math in my career. However, even if you don’t, learning it helps train your brain for logic. Mental exercise improves your thinking skills just as physical exercise improves your body.

Yeah. You DON’T need to know that, Lu. It’s enough that Gunther Knows that.

I always knew someone else would figure it out if I ever needed Algebra. Which I never did.

Luann you don’t need to really know it. Unless you go into business and say work for H&R Block.

Luann’s problem isn’t the math; her problem is the attitude.
