Is there a point in the pledge?
I mean isn't the idea of a pledge moot when you're taught to recite it every day since 1st grade (or whenever it's started in America). The purpose of any pledge is to make the choice to pledge yourself to something.
And is there also any point in doing it so often, in a place of education?

from an outside view, the whole thing reads as if it were something you would recite when you're sworn into public office or the military or something. it's weird.

In those positions, it makes sense. I mean what you're doing has some sort of importance to America and it's works, and you're pledging yourself to working for America and her interests, because you ARE. However, doing it at a school? I'm not seeing why you have to pledge yourself to America before learning some Math
