What's something useless that you learned at school? (1 Viewer)

Trigonometry and most English analysis. As someone studying a subject that doesn't involve complicated math, I haven't used trigonometry in years.
And with analysis in English classes, I've always felt like a lot of it was made up on the spot.​

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

Omg yes, and then in later years we learned that that isn't even true

Pretty much everything, Math, Science, History, Arabic, none of them are related to what I am currently studying in college.

Could you explain it further?

Tbh my biology teacher four years ago was the one who was complaining about that phrase and said that it wasn't really the powerhouse of the cell? So I don't remember exactly what she said about it. It might've just been because it was a really simplified version of what actually goes to powering the cell.

I echo everybody who said learning the parts of the cell was useless... unless you were to become a cell biologist or something. lol Also:

Ancient history - I actually didn't gaf what the Ancient Greeks and Romans did, because it was just that - ANCIENT!
War history - as if this world wasn't bad enough now...
Music history - I really liked making it, though! I'm not talking history as in when the Beatles formed (1964, duh lol), but history as in what type of music Bach composed. Ugh!!!
Art history - again, the art part was fine, but who CARES how Van Gogh died? I came to PAINT like him, not do a freaking REPORT on him!

Actually, come to think about it, history is really just boring trivia and not so much something that'll stick for life.

Pretty much 90% of the garbage that I learned in high school. Almost none of it benefits me today

 

[eclipsoul]

95% things i learned at school are useless tbh, i left high school knowing the life story of a guy named adam mickiewicz who's been dead for 150 years but having no idea about taxes or job interviews
