even here, chiz doesnt make any sense. he is saying, check the relevance of the HS curiculum which is very reasonable (if obvious!).

but all his examples are what the HS kids want to do in college. how do college kids know what they want to do while in HS? maybe he knew that he wanted to be a lawyer from his birth, but that cant be true for everyone.

last, he contradicts himself, and says math is useful for a prelaw course, citing logic. deductive logic is used extensively in real analysis, complex algebra,etc…

so now he says, you need alot of math?

thanks for visiting papi.

“it’s the critical and analytical thinking is being developed by math subjects.”

exactly. chiz did say that the best lawyers have strong math backgrounds. but he’s missing the point i guess. everyone needs to develop critical thinking.

Anyone who’d suggest that (math being an elective subject) is out of his mind. It’s not just about numbers… it’s the critical and analytical thinking is being developed by math subjects. He should know that…
