Pi is something almost useless. It only counts for circles. I've never heard of another place where Pi is used.

Congratulations. This is now my "quote of the day," and this is the first thread I've read. Nothing will be able to trump it, though.
The ratio π applies to everything: All calculations involving movement that isn't a straight line, which happens to be quite a lot.
π radians is the usual method for expressing angles in trigonometry, as an angle is just going around a circle.
So, yeah. it's useless in 6th grade or whatever, but not in general.
