1: ability to do real reports and research in a short amount of time, Ever try writing a report in one hour in class with nothing but a binder and an old encyclopedia thats shared between the class
2: people will be useing computers when they get into the real world
as for your argument that people wont know how to do math is just silly +-/* is drumed into kids till about the 7th grade, no reason to force a 10th grader to waste thier time when they could be learning new ideas, and when the power goes out they will use batteries
