The people that hate it do so because most of those people won't grow up and use it in their lives anyway! The schools assume everyone is going to be a scientist or a programmer or something, and force it upon them as a required class, when it should be optional. Most people forget all the algebra they learned by the time they're in their 30s.
Most average kids fail algebra because their parents forgot it and cannot help them with it.

how your past middle school teacher can get back at you in high school
Chris asks for directions(Family Guy)

Man gives directions:
"Ok now what'choo gonna do, you go down the road past the Johnson's place. There you'll find two roads. One parallel and one perpendicular. Now keep going until you find a highway that bisections at a 45 degree angle. Solve for x"

The most useless piece of shit class ever to be taught. Do not let teachers fool you, algebra will never be useful in everyday life.
Teacher: Algebra will probably be the most useful thing you learn here in the everyday world
Student: Bullshit. Utter bullshit.

Algebra (n.): from the Arabic Al-Gibbera meaning "the Gibberish";

the word has become corrupted to algebra and most students never know, though they may suspect, that they really are studying Gibberish.
Student A: Did you see that little sentence in our social studies book about the Middle Eastern philosopher who named algebra?

Student B: I don't take social studies....I'm trying to find X...

Someusless BS a MRP ( Mentaly retarded person )made back a long time ago we can asume he had no life, no freinds and was a gay SOB. Most times u try to find x and y and end up going from some thing like x=9/3*6+6^78+-6+6x^2+7y^45 and get something like 2. Obvisly this is just something teachers use if they them selfs r MR ( mentaly retarded )
But school's acct as if its importent to hide the fact that theres just a bunch of retards.
