Merica here too. I went to a Baptist school for a few years, so I learned religion (I am religious, so I did not object). Had I stayed for later elementary school, I apparently would have learned agriculture.
Visit Eastern Europe sometimes. over 50% of population in any country there knows what it was like.
So I can tell you it was crap, like tottal crap. Don't ever belive that socialist democracy is the way, ever
Red is Bad.
* Cursive
* How to play hot cross buns on a recorder
* Reciting the 51 states in the united states
* Reacting those States capitals
* Potato battery
* How to make Paper snow flakes
On the other side of things, there's lots of shit kids should learn how to do but don't because standardized test scores > everything.
… more Every child should...
* Learn to doing basic cooking and laundry.
* Learn how to do basic repairs / building.
* Learn personal finances / basic economics.
* Learn how the government / civil society works.
* Be enriched by art and culture.
It depends on the person and what career path they end up choosing. All of it is helpful in some way. Even so, it's good for people to enrich their knowledge, but I know people will disagree.
It is. I'm talking about logs, sin, and finding the midpoint of a midpoint I've seen an equation involved S being surrounded by multiple letters. Up, down, left, right, you can name it and there was a letter there.
When you ask a Math teacher when you'll be using that kind of material they'll just be silent and move on.
algebra and chromatography are the things i never needed to learn at school they were pointless there was a time years ago when we had to do ancient numbers as homework i got egyptian numbers in heiroglyphics believe me it was not easy i dont think egyptian numbers would help with a job not even a historian
* Religion.
* Chemistry.
* Physics.
* Biology.
* Ancient Greek (no one talks Ancient Greek anymore, why do children even have to learn i… moret, what the fuck).
That's pretty much it. I just wish those subjects were optional, at least for Middle School (or Junior High School, I dunno).
You don't learn ancient greek because it'd be useful to be able to speak it, you learn it so you have potential access to some of the greatest literary works in the history of mankind through direct experience. That's why you never have to practise speaking it.

You are aware that there is a considerable amount of difference between the Soviet model of socialism and democratic socialism?
How to play a fucking fipple flute. (Is that the English word for it? I guess)
Like, I guess we have learnt a lot of important stuff in school. But what in the actual fuck do I do with knowing how to play a damn fipple flute? From grades 2-5 all we did in music lessons was play fipple flutes. There was NOTHING else we did in those years. The music class had this small box full of fipple flutes that you could borrow if you didn't have your own (They seriously expected us to buy one) and you could only guess how damn dirty they were. We were supposed to wash them always after we had used them, but there was always some people who just threw it in the box without doing so. That resulted in one of my class mates noticing that his flute had still someone else's dribble left inside. I bought my own fucking fipple flute after that.
So next time I'm in a job interview, I might as well tell the employer that I can play a fipple flute. Totally hired.

Trust me, I'm bored at school 3 times in a week, especially on Thursday. Oh man, the schedule on that day is destroying my whole school day. The rest are okay.

What grade are you in, if you're still in school? I learned a little bit about it when I was in the 7th grade, and then a little more when I was in 8th. I'm currently in 9th, and haven't had to use it for anything in my math class.
I'm in algebra one, and literally every day, I get the urge to ask my teacher, "What are these equations used for? When am I ever going to need this?" but I don't, because he already seems like a nervous wreck who will crack any day now.
Don't get into any career that involves finances. You may not realize it because you do these things in smaller steps, but you use these equations all the time.
I quite enjoy math. I just don't enjoy Geometry and I'm not even sure if it can be considered math sometimes. It feels much more like elaborate problem solving.
Math is something I have to use, being my primary duty is to take a flat piece of metal and make it into something that isn't flat, and at times insane shapes and the engineers are too stupid to provide good reference material so I had to relearn a lot of math I forgotten just to get angles/dimensions right, again because engineers provide about 10% of the information I need to know. lol
English is fun, but ya it's useless. If you read a lot you really don't need much more when it comes to english studies unless you're going to be a editor for a publisher. Even most writers are not that good at writing.
History is the best subject ever, it also encourages people to think critically at that being subject matter can differ heavily from one nation to another on the same topic.
Science is also fun... I took every science course in high school. xD
It would be better if they thought you the general basics of subjects but they should teach you on what you want to be or something else in case it doesn't work out (backup plan)

Personally, I find cursive rather useful. But, hey, that is only me.

This video basically sums up my thoughts

A lot of stuff from Maths
Sports class
That's all to be honest. I think all the other classes are useful and/or interesting.
Funny, I've actually used the Pythagorean Theory for building shit on a few occasions, one of the few advanced math a, I've used.
If that's useless for you, you must be bored at school lol (The only thing that must be really useless is the ancient greek)
You don't learn ancient greek because it'd be useful to be able to speak it, you learn it so you have potential access to some of the greatest literary works in the history of mankind through direct experience. That's why you never have to practise speaking it.
Should be optional though, weird it wasn't.
Everything that has Socialism in it's name makes my skin crawl....

I hate flutes.
Everything besides elementary level math, english, history, and science.

I think I'm the only one who actually like school lol
There are more people that like it. You can't be the only one.
I know, but you know what I mean.
Geometry.
I hope that I'm not the only person in here who enjoyed math.
I see...
Holy shit, Just last week I learned about Pythagorean Theorum
Pre Algebra (I'm still waiting on the day where I need to combine like terms or do 4(x+5) - 28 = 60 + 2x
It's now that you need to combine it
For me, it depends, sometimes it's fun
I don't build things, so that might be my problem. I don't even remember how to do it.

Bruh, you're supposed to say: “Who you calling a pin head?”
