Are kids should not be required to learn algebra. We as adults have not used these skills for most of our life. Their is no reason that we should have are kids learning algebra if they will most likely not use it in their lifetime. I am an adult of 37 years of age and not once have I been in a situation where I was needed to use algebra. I don't believe that learning algebra will get you a better job than someone that does not know it. I have many friends that know algebra and my life is so much better then theirs. Don't get me wrong math is needed but algebra not so much
