Even if one never uses algebra, it’s a great way to develop reasoning skill - a commodity in short supply these days.

We use the skills we learned doing algebra every day without even realizing it.

I agree. There are also a number of jobs where it comes handy.
Performance in algebra and math in general is one subject that isn't affected by cultural difference. It is purely a logical system.

I got out of Freshman Algebra in high school with a D Average. Never in my wildest dreams I would ever use it. Then I became an LEO and got slapped hard in the face when I attended my first crash investigation training. Who would have ever thougth?
