School is supposed to be a place to learn skills that will you in life. So tell me: what will learning about how to calculate the angles of a polygon help me, because unless I become a mathematician (which I guarantee no one in this school will be) that is a useless skill that will be quickly forgotten. 50% of all the classes in this school will only benefit only an extremely small demographic of jobs. Knowing the biology of animals would be extremely useful… If I were a biologist. The only possible explanation for all this useless education being shoved down our throats is that they are trying to prepare us for EVERYTHING possible carrier in existence, which is incredibly stupid. The worst part is that if we don’t understand these subjects, we get punished for it. I once heard in another country, that after kids graduate their equivalent of grade school, you then choose a specialty school based on what job you plan on getting. We need something like that so we can actually get life skills, instead of wasting our time on meaningless classes.
Back in elementary school we had just generalized learning too, but there what we were learning was useful: how to read and write, basic education, stuff like that. In high school we have such useless classes as geometry, biology, chemistry, geography and so forth.
