I wonder how many of those use what they learned in everyday life though.

As Dennis mentioned I think that testing and measuring somehow says what is or not being used enough in the area of training. What is the saying take a horse to water but you cannot make them drink!, I just know for a fact the English comp, calculus, biology teachers were glad I was is the other electives. Now I was lucky to have married a smart lady and my young ones seem to enjoy the mentioned classes. figure that? I just keep paying for the ap classes happily
Hey have a good Friday everyone

BRMAX:

Funny you should mention AP classes. My wife, a math teacher is the department chair at a private high school. She teaches all the AP math classes as she is the highest degreed math teacher in the school. The same holds true for all the other AP classes. The highest degreed teachers ( typically Masters or PHD ) teach the AP classes.

(Being a private school with an immense focus on education versus extra curricular activities 90 % of her students are college bound after graduation. Hence the popularity of all the AP classes they have at her school. They are great primers for college bound kids.

Myself I nearly slit my throat when taking Algebra. I hated math with a passion. My worst subject by far.

I hated science that had math equations, the only time I ever got a F

Guess I'm the outlier.   I have two sisters that are five and nine years older than me.   I remember my dad spending every evening with them when they were in Algebra.   I got there and wondered what the problem was.   I ended up with bachelor's and master's degrees in theoretical math.
