Algieba is useful and has it's roots firmly planted in reality.

Calculus I still is somewhat grounded but Calculus II is like trying to build on the thousand story scaffolding that is Calc II and by that point you can't even see the ground, you're off in space.

The reasoning behind not being able to use our calculators to do most of the work for us is also questionable. The same professors would also champion the statement "work smarter, not harder" if asked if they agree with it.

The problem being that if you don't know how to work "hard" you never will fully understand why it works. The only reason we can benefit from things that make our lives easier (such as calculators) is because of those who were able to convert their "hard work" into "smart work."

Maybe we can make it so only people with a University education/ currently in one and finally those older than 19, I think that will filter out some of those people

University attendance is not a guarantee that one can conduct himself in a respectable manner.

A University education is not a measure of higher intelligence either but that is another can of worms.

Well said. Also age is not a guarantee that one can conduct himself in a respectable manner.

My dad is a contractor that hasn't grown up yet either. He has a few hundred hot wheels on his office walls and he built a track for his toy trains to drive around his office while he is working. He even welds metal animals out of scrap metal when he's bored.
