    This video was amazing. Tailor made for the short-attention span TikToc generation. You could have easily droned on from one location, but you livened it up. It's clear you put so much time in this. The many scene cuts and comical scenes keep one engaged, and yet you are conveying profundity by the pound. Masterful. Consider me subscribed.

    Algebra is mandatory in college. Why? Where in life will I need to calculate a parabola? I think this mindset is due not because it is useful but because of a sense of competition between states and administrations. It just isn't a useful or relevant thing to learn. Instead we should teach things that are useful and relevant like Critical Thinking, Social Skills, or even Civic Patriotism. Hell, even Manners.
