Rather pointless?

[Darker Conscience]

Why is it that in most subjects teach you rather...pointless abstract things that you'll never need to use again unless you want to be a teacher of the same subject?

Take maths as an example, Circle theorems what. the. fuck. Is the the point in them? In my future life will i ever need to know what the angles in a shape inside a circle add up to? No.

Example from my maths class -

Kid "Miss, will we ever need this in real life?"
Miss "Its needed for your exams"
Kid "But...what about after exams"
Miss "....no, i didn't even do them at college or universaty"
Kid "so why do we need to learn them?"
Miss "........shut up and work"

It's just...incredibly retarded that we have to learn things that we'll never need to use again, i'll think of more examples later..

The idea of studying mathematics is not because you will definitely need it in the outside world, although you most likely will if you plan on studying Science or Engineering at Third Level, it has been scientifically proven that the study of mathematics helps develop the brain.
