Rejected petition Get rid of certain pointless parts of the maths course at GCSE, such as surds.
More details
Certain parts of the GCSE higher mathematics course are utterly pointless, for example things like surds which are only useful for maths teachers; to teach. I propose that certain things like this should only be taught at A-level when people have chosen to study mathematics further
