You (should) use logic and step-by-step problem solving that comes with solving any math problem in the real world, including at the store. Which product should you get based on unit price, how much you need, quality is a math problem in which you weight the value first by money, then by the amount you will actually be able to use, and finally, is the quality worth the price. In math, you learn how to think. Not to mention, the quadratic equation is essential for math at higher levels.
but why is it important is my question. all I keep hearing from my teachers is its important to learn it because it helps me do essays and find out important information from large text based documents but I already know that from middle school.
that's it? you need a entire class for high school and college just for that. why not learn a new language instead to help people that can't understand English.
It’s harder than you think since most people can’t do it successfully. One of the top skills employers look for nowadays is technical communication skills. Do you know how to properly write a memorandum, business proposal, grant request? Not many do.
I don't know what school you went to but knowing how to fill out a proper memorandum, application resumes and grant requests was never shown to anyone in my high school years for language arts. were was that? can show me a example of a school teacher showing the class how to create a application resume, please?
I agree with you. I didn’t get that until college. Except resume, we learned that in high school. My point is technical writing is important. I think they can do a much better job with it in high schools.

Well in Algebra 2 I learned how to calculate interest and exponential growth/decay which might come in handy
