What's the most useless thing you've learned at school?

Nothing is truly wasted. It's not about the moment itself, but what we choose to learn from it and how we use those lessons to create something meaningful.

I’ve built my career around math and physics, but my curiosity has led me far beyond that. I’ve learned woodworking, which now helps me craft my own furniture, and I’ve picked up metalwork, machine skills and computers along the way. Art, music and craft have also given me meaningful hobbies and creative outlets. I guess you could say I have a wide range of interests and I simply love learning and creating in different forms.

I know they're important subjects, but geometry and physics did absolutely nothing for me.

cursive

General social etiquette. Hardly anyone follows it anymore and as someone who it took ages to learn it, it annoys and confused me. 😞 So many boundary issues everywhere

Algebra

I learned book binding? But why?

Also calligraphy, no one cares about my fancy writing. Or even my penmanship. No one is writing letters anymore, what is the purpose.

We read Their Eyes were Watching God and later watched the movie. There was this extremely detailed makeout scene that was not in the book at all; I swear it went on for like 10 minutes. Guess I didn't really learn anthing from that but it does feel pretty useless. On a side note: this is the class where my original teacher completely vanished and the new teacher was a psychopath who said if everything in her life didn't somehow have a 3 in it, she would go crazy.

Most of the history, 90% of the math I never use, spanish, band.
High school did not prepare me for real life what so ever. Instead of empty meaningless equations, how about teaching how to fill out tax forms? I had to learn that from other people, along with how a mortgage works, etc. Wood shop was about the only valuable skill I learned.
Dont even get me started on Chis Columbus. He was not a hero. He was a slave trader and a slime ball. Did a lot of sleezy things in his life time.

Nothing. I have used pretty much everything. Especially algebra.

How to line up neatly and orderly with classmates.

I have not seen it, ever, as an adult.

How to dissect a frog

Beer pong 😂

The Picard uniqueness and existence theorem proof. I would have taken it on faith!

Algebra

History

Some of the history that we learned.

Algebra.

Algebra.

Discrete maths

Physical education. I'm still lazy.

Sociology. Global... something. Yeah forgot most of it because it had to do with politics.

Latin. Unless they'll invent a time machine and let me go live in the I century b.C.

probably Spanish and French and thank goodness skills on the slide ruler went away.

About King Tut when I should have been learning math

90% of what they taught me I have forgotten

Mark Park walk in the dark

3 blind mice on the recorder.

Soldering in electric shop.

Underwater basket weaving

In grade 3 or so it was the lame bean bag toss in gym class.

Nothing was useless.

Henry's 8 wives

Robot Appreciation 101.

I heard they teach evolution there

Pen license

The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two adjacent sides. 😞

Don't eat yellow snow.

When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all...

Trigonometry and the French language.
Utterly pointless!
