I'm in the sciences and, outside my work, I use very little math on a regular basis. Even in my work, the math I use tends to be pretty basic. I think maybe stressing the utility of maths beyond a certain level is misleading, but that doesn't necessarily mean its place in education is wrong. At a high school level it is great at providing exposure to abstract ideas and logic. Keeping it utilitarian would make it dull and reinforce notions that school is dull and intellectual pursuits are boring.
