All those algebraic equations, are they relevant when our daily life is concerned?

It does teach you another way of looking at things. For example, if I wanted to make something which calls for 2 cups of sugar, and I only have 1 1/2 cups, how can I adjust the rest of the ingredients to I can still make the cookies? I don't have to use algebra for that--but can if I want.

Daily life- not really. Perhaps those kids could use their algebraic skills when they have a job someday. Maybe just some simple algebra could be used in our daily life but not really the complicated ones.

no not really, as with most maths you learn in secondary school. I mean, when are you really gonna need to know how far a ladder reaches up a wall to 3 decimal places and exactly how far a goat can reach when its tied to a fence-post?

I doubt it. I have a friend who is a doctor. He didn't use his high school trig until Med School...briefly. Kind of makes you wonder doesn't it?
