I don't disagree with everything you say, but it's absurd to suggest that geometry has no realworld application. Geometry was invented thousands of years ago so that we can have buildings and infrastructure, so that we can have civilization. It's laughable you think it's useless. Maybe you just want to be an artist, or an English major, but even then having some basic math education up to geometry and algebra balances you out.
I can agree that we can be more like other countries that shift the education focus in High School to practical trade skills for the majority of the population. Society was never meant to have the majority of its population as intellectuals, and forcing them to be intellectuals take them down a destructive path of intellectual ideology that killed over a hundred million people in the last 120 years.
The areas of adulting I hate the most are the ones I feel routinely thrust into: that is the never ending bureaucratic nightmare of making visas. It's like begging to get punched again, dismissed, ignored, delayed, and told I did it all wrong, all with constant demands for more money on their end. I sometimes think part of the problem is that the deal is fixed already, making dropping out seem all the more attractive against the prospect of sacrificing for some corporate grind where they clearly need you to go against your values while simultaneously trying to lean six sigma your job out of existence every step of the way...
