No it doesn't. It teaches inductive reasoning. It also doesn't teach what I've been talking about from the start: thinking carefully and showing your work throughout.

Correct not everyone wants to go into stem, at the point of high school. People frequently change their major in college, at least early on, and the mth classes allow them to go into STEM fields should they eventually decide they want to switch. Like I said it leaves a door open.

Although learning the material means that at least in principal the people should be able to understand enough not to fall for stupid hoaxes.

1. I could be wrong, but aren't these skills retaught when you enter the profession anyways? Or in College/Trade School?
2. Could you elaborate on farmers? I can understand the rest of them, maybe, but farmers? I know a few farmers who dropped out of High School and were dreadful with math.

1. Sometimes yes. But you're still required to know at least high school or college level math to get into those jobs.
2. A lot of people who have to make money off of farming need to know algebra, trig, stats, etc... Like how many animals need a certain amount of feed or land, calculating that required feed/land, how much fencing you might need to enclose a certain area, how much land you need for crops to grow, calculating the money you make off of crops and livestock vs. how much you need to spend, etc...
Hell, that's just general farming and not getting into specifics. For more specialized things like vineyards or hydroponics you need to learn at least chemistry, biology, horticulture, organic chemistry, etc...

The Every Student Succeeds Act is a shitshow. It essentially gives schools total control over government funding, and bases that funding off of how well kids do on tests. It also forces advanced kids to stay back with idiots who don’t do their work. I’m by no means a “talented” or “gifted” student but I get my work done, and I do it on time. These “disadvantaged” children are just kids who refuse to do work when ample time is given to them. This forces kids who are getting shit done to stay on a subject that they already know because some kids won’t do their work. I experience this every, single, day.

Also the funding is out of whack. Our school just bought a state of the art, 1.5 million dollars on a goddamn weights room. That was a horrid desicion. They only have 15 kids in a weights class at any time, they didn’t need to spend a million dollars on it. Other schools do this shit to. They also spent over 800k on a new football stadium. This could have gone to teacher salaries, fine arts, better classrooms, technology for learning. School is for education not building muscle. Go to a gym for that. I understand having sports in school, and it’s great. However, we don’t need to spend that much on it. We can have a stadium that accommodates what we need for half of that, and even a weights room that is half that.
Although this is better than the No Child Left Behind Act, there needs to be less money put into less nessecary things. Things like classrooms need to be more of a priority over sports programs.

What you said about funding is very true. There is also the problem that schools in low income areas receive less funding in general, and so they don't have as many resources for anything, including classrooms as well as sports and arts.
