Diagramming sentences. Seriously. Do they even teach that anymore?

Playing a wind instrument may help in preventing obstructive sleep apnea.

Algebra. Never have used it out of school.

I loved basic Algebra! Because there was just one way to get an answer. And the answer would always verify back on the problem. Oddly, I find I use this sort of math at my job. Especially when I used to have to either do measurement calculations, schedule hours and matrixes etc. Now I think I use math daily for the tool store.

PE. I didn't learn anything except that I was a fat kid and how to pretend to look like I was running from far far away.

As an aside, classes I learned a lot from? Home Economic. Learned basic sewing and cooking. Best thing ever. As some tween girl if she knows how to even sew a hem.

Hey!!!!! Don't dis recorder!!! I teach it every year lol, the number of kids I have now wanting to learn real instruments ia huge haha

I think pythagoras theorem. I've never used it. But I suppose knowledge of it helps me with angles...

Maybe organic chemistry? But it means I know what C4H8 is/looks like...

I really enjoyed those subjects though... so it's not exactly uselesss...

And I can sew!! I made curtains.

But I need to think about something useless, clearly if it was useless I forgot about it lol.

The thing that turned out to be completely useless: computer punch cards.

The recorder is useful because playing music has brain benefits: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releas...-cmp082514.php

What is your "no one will ever believe me" story?

Re: Medusa's Quesion du jour (the year of the horse edition!)

What is your "no one will ever believe me" story?

The fact that I was once charged with attempted Murder,and no one would testify against me.

And I will explain,I was in a fight while drunk as was the other guy. I was beating him,when he pulled a move that among men would justify murder. If friends had not pulled me off,I most certainly would have committed the act. After,even he himself would not press charges because of the cowardly move,because it would have made him an outcast within our group.

I will say I was not always a non violent person...

While this is a non-answer answer, I don't really want to bother telling it because of the lack of people who believe me about it :P.

The vast majority of stuff really. With the exception of health class, and perhaps PE, nothing my school taught had a practical application on life. I didn't even learn how to right a check. Budgeting? Cooking? Filing taxes? Nope. Filling out job applications? Interview skills? No. How to change a diaper? Calm a crabby baby? No. History, math, science, sure. And it probably would have been really useful if I'd taken my education in any direction other than art, but honestly, I've not used any of that knowledge in the real world. Sure it's valuable and an educated society is definitely a good thing. But the education I got hasn't helped me in real life.
