For you claiming that math was useful there will be 20 claiming that math is one of the most useless class. And in the next sentence they will claim that school should teach practical things, like doing your taxes.

It all boils down to not wanting to put any effort in the end.

Is there actually a problem with not putting any effort if not required? Why isn't it a good thing to achieve a task with less effort?

Would you also say that programmers writing code on computers instead of pen & paper just "don't want to put any effort in"?

And? That doesn't go against what I said. I just said that a big problem is that subjects aren't framed in a way that makes them seem useful, regardless of if they are or not.
