Definitely not liking this idea. Especially since most of the day is spent doing busy work and learning things I will never actually use in the real world. Take algebra for example, when the [expletive] am I ever going to use any of that? I'm not going to go around doing that or plotting graphs. The only classes that are somewhat meaningful are the business classes. They teach you skills needed to survive in the real working world. I can't even say that high school English classes are worthwhile as more time is spent reading old stories/plays rather than learning how to write proper documents and proposals.

 

For those reasons stated above, I'm whole heartedly against this. Maybe if more of the day was spent on meaningful things I'd be a bit more open to this idea, but until then, no.

Exactly, most of school is a waste. To survive all you need to do is add, subtract, divide, multiply, and all the basics. No one is going to come up to you with a bunch of radicals, and fractions, over another radical with fractions and tell you to solve it. History is a waste, it is spent learning about the past, none of which will help you with the future, unless you want to get into certain job areas. Economics is useful, my english class is useful, maybe science, but it all depends on what you want to be.

 

I think, they should give you like one or two mandatory classes, and the rest should all be picked by you based on what you are interested in becoming. I was only able to pick like 3 classes this year as a senior. I find that if I am interested in something, I will actually study and learn more about it.

I couldn't agree more. Like business classes for me are an easy A. Why? Because I actually care to learn about them as I will be using the information for the rest of my life. I don't care who fought at the Alamo as it has no true effect on my life.

 

Personally, I think high school should be more like college in a sense. Basically we'd all pick a "profession" or "field" and we'd study based on that. Add those four years to your college years and the U.S. would be able to produce more professionals in various fields. It would allow everyone to find what they truly want to do as well as get ready early and take in much more than they would've otherwise. For me, I'd want to do basically a "business high school". So all day we'd do business related classes preparing us for our future in our nation's economy.
