Summary

This quote humorously points out the tendency in education to continue teaching outdated or irrelevant subjects. It suggests that instead of recognizing the obsolescence of certain topics and removing them from the curriculum, they are often mandated and made necessary for students to study. The quote implies a criticism of the education system's failure to adapt and prioritize more contemporary and practical subjects, perhaps highlighting the need for a reassessment of the curriculum to ensure it aligns with the demands of the modern world.
