The logs, algebra, geometry, etc., that I was learning in my first

third year of high school, now. To get anything better I have to drop
work/career and go to university at a phenomenal cost.
The 'conspiracy theory' that we are educated to meet the standards of
a 'product' that the corporate entities require, isn't a far-flung one.
The corporate entities around here like people to know math (Boston,
high tech and all) - they scream about poor math preparation; so does
the military (you know, balistics and such). My theory is that we're
educating political sheep - who can't read budgets or statistics.
