why should we study equations which we cannot use in our daily lives? why do we have to measure how far a stone will travel if you throw it ... u know something like that....

My opinion is...
i think we need to study so that if we already have our own children, we may answer their questions in school...lol

additional question....
how come that many people who failed to study but learned how to survive in life independently become succesful???

You know I absolutely agree with you. I think we have to study them because they're already so established in the education system. But I'd rather learn things I can use in my day to day life.

I'm amazed you do not know all the practical reasons for things you study in school. If you want any kind of job in construction, engineering, maths, etc. equations are very important. Most important is: KNOWLEDGE. Instead of stone, put in the word: truck for example. Then exchange 'throw' for 'drive'. Then you have the equation for fuel mileage. Then add something like, how heavy the truck is, or how much of a load it is carrying. With this info you could see how much your trucking company, for example, should charge its customers to transport loads for them.
Critical thinking is important too. The more real history you know, it should be harder for you to fall for the lies that politicians, for example, tell you!
Home economics is important. It can help you know the correct or a better way to raise your child when you have one. Etc.
Hope this is helpful.

All we have learned has its own use in our daily lives,.,. So don't say those equations doesn't have use at all,.,. I'll give you an example,,, it seems to be akward but if you learn the types of sound which looks like useless, it will help you big in your life. Here's my point: the sound "shing..." is a sound usually for heard from swords or some sharp objects, but the sound "bang..." is for explosions. So if you see, those equation may seem to little for you or even worthless but these little equations combines with each other that helps us big in our life...

If you know how far a stone will travel that knowledge may improve your future daily life,the more we understand the better our chances are,using the stone as an example we may be able to understand the velocity of a military missile or space projectile,if you studied you would know it's "do" not "does",no offence,lol.

Why do people need to study?
Physics, higher level Math, Chemistry and other totally boring subjects, in my opinion, were worthless....
BUT....looking back, I don't think that I would be able to figure out other things in life without these courses. I can't prove my theory, but I suspect, every class that I took, made me a more well-rounded person.
And, it's really nice to have a general idea as to what people are talking about in any situation.

People need to study to be able to learn.
Learning makes a person correct his wrong ideas. It is easier for him to understand the hows and whys of his life and his surroundings. It gives him enough Education - may it be theoretical or actual.

The reason we learn these things is that they help is to think things through in a logical way ... and sometimes later on in life knowing how to do these things can come in handy. You'd be surprised how many times I've had to use my high school algebra in my life (I am 67).

How do you know you will not use it? If you don't set the ground work with these subjects in high school, you will never get an engineer, doctor, pharmacist, software developer. Look farther than your own nose.

Ahh. I have the same questions as you do.[:
But it turned out that my cousin said that those kind of things are used in job interviews so we really should study them even if we hate it.

you study because when you need information you will find it already with u
if you want to know why we study just try to do nothing and learn nothing to know the value of education
