Who agrees High School is pointless and a waste of time?
I’m in high school and can’t stand it. They teach us the most pointless things. For example, how to analyze Shakespeare, chemical formula breakdowns, ridiculous pointless Algebra and Geometry. I understand we should all have a basic understanding of certain subjects like how our planet works, and we should also know a little about the human body. Obviously we need to know basic math. Everything after Pre-Algebra is pointless. Analyzing literature essays is ridiculous. The school system is so left and corrupt. They need to teach us useful things like how the economy works, how loans work, how to buy houses/cars, manage check books/bank accounts. AVID shouldn’t be an elective. Everyone should have help getting in college. They make it so impossible now to get to college. I’m a pretty smart kid. I have a pilots certificate and a drivers license so I’m not a retard. But most likely I’m not going to a 4-year university because I’m a B-C student. What is your opinion?
My opinion is that they should teach about stuff that matters, but I love English so that should be required too. But come on, will it really say on our job applications: “Please analyze this essay. Then use it as an example to write your own from a dog’s point of view.” Seriously!
