Useless Subjects

Depending on what we consider the use of education. Those 2 subjects are important for understanding what to vote for. Really though, I would argue that what we need are better econ classes given the centrality of the subject to the workings of our society.

Definitely highly recommended. Too many people make too many assumptions about the world and don't think enough about them.

The fact is, (or at least the fact should be that they're teaching you to think. Although in the US, thanks to No Child Left Behind, it's more important to teach to the test. And children are getting left behind because ofit.

I'm starting to think Science is useless!
I am learning NOTHING I will care about after the course is over
I think it should be an option for people, not mandorary.

English Literature is a useless subject. How is learning 'Of Mice and Men' parrot fashion going to help me later in life?

However, I can understand that Creative/Original Writing is useful if you want to write a book or become a linguist/author. A wide range of educated vocabulary would also be somewhat useful in vocational documents as well, such as a CV.

My college requires a course that is intended to 'show' students how to work at college. It alledegly prepares them for the 'rest of their college career' and uses a lot of rhetoric to that effect. In reality, no real topic is covered by the course material and the class is a good deal of busy work.
