not really, just your bad examples. Are they applicable in life? Yes. Did i become proficient in them by my high school science classes? frick no x10.


would be quite difficult to learn what I learned in an English class via the internet. Same with math.

the concepts i listed are building blocks that ultimately lead to the ability to improve yourself and understanding of the world

huh? say what? learning "how to cook" via science class, or learning about diets and medicine are building blocks? or help me understand the world?

I know what you are trying to say. But as i said, your examples were just bad, which just further proves my point how insignificant those classes truly were.

when you limit education to surface-level topics with endpoints, you basically doom that student to those end points

science and history have end points. usually when those classes end. But definitely end when you are finished with school.
