You also have a calculator in your pocket at all times in the real life. What's your opinion on whether or not students should learn math?

If you're dealing with grammar, you're 99.9% doing it in the digital world and can easily fix it with assistance with no drawbacks.

If you're in the casino wondering what's the chance of rolling snake eyes, you're unlikely to be pulling out your phone, so I'd say basic math is much more important than perfect grammar without assistance.

So you think students should learn math in case they want to gamble? That's your best argument?
