I don't recall how having a knowledge of how 'to the powers of' helped me improve in my fields of history and literature, either.

But if we can agree to disagree, surely we can at least agree that a 15-16 year old who doesn't like math shouldn't be forced to take 18 math lessons a week?


I can quite easily agree with that Smile
