Why does math class go past the eighth grade? If you do not plan on majoring in something that involves math such as business or accounting, what is the point of forcing the rest of the students to take a math course beyond eighth grade level? It is a waste of my time and the rest of the people that do not need anymore math classes. I could have a real high Gpa in school but all because of my math class it brings me down so much. Math has to be the worst subject alive whoever made up the number system should have been shot on the spot. Isaac Newton was not a genius he was bored so he decided to start playing with numbers. I have taken college math and math in high school and I could be a lot happier without going to those classes in school. I think most people would agree with me when I say “I can add, subtract, divided and multiply what more do I need. I can count money is that not the most important thing I can count for hours I just do not want to why do I need to know what E= who cares honestly, and with all I learned when I was in middle school. High school math is just something that gives people a job when they can not do anything else but play with numbers.
