School sucks Why are we learning half the things we are learning it's not even useful

If I were you I would use the resources your school provides to learn more useful day to day things you will need to know in adulthood. Before you get to adulthood. School isn't there to really teach you useful things, it is to teach you the basics, thought correction and help you decide to pick a career and interests before you get into college. But mostly it is thought correctness.

Yeah it did. It's not really the stuff you learn that benefits you in the long run (although it is generally good to be informed) it's the process of learning that gets you ready for the world. You can develop critical thought so that you can make good decisions and smart decisions.

To teach you how to think, how to learn, how to analyze. And they have no idea yet which bits you might find useful, so there's a shotgun approach, trying to find some part that fits and suits each pupil.

School is mostly training you to get up every morning to go to a job you hate for 30 years so you can buy a bunch of stuff you don't need.

You don't only learn stuff and things, you'll also subconsciously learn techniques that help you during life.

It might become useful if you're ever the President of the USA. Things like the civil war and stuff.
