Seriously, though, that dumb flour bag is a baby thing was utterly useless. As far as I know, flour bags do not get colic and don't cost in the six figures to take care of.
Also, the only thing that I retained from World History was the order of Henry VIII's wives (Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived). Don't ask me their names though :)
The best example I can think of is my typing class I took my freshman year of high school. I'm too old to have had "computer lab" in high school. In my typing class we each had a typewriter on our desk (you younger kids have probably heard of these ancient artifacts). The "useless" part was that our teacher insisted that we also learn how to repair typewriters 0_0
My schooling was serious lacking in history (only learned about the Bolshevik revolutions and the Civil war) and math. I seemed to be in the age where they were trying "experimental" methods only to ditch them every semester and try something new. I'm going with geometry. Never had a need to measure a circle.
I do the circle math whenever I try to figure out if two mediums for a dollar more than one large really gives me more pizza for the money. But I'm cheap enough to really care about the answer, so the math doesn't faze me if I'm getting a deal!
Maths.Full stop.I can't overstate the trauma of trying to learn maths past the age of 11.ie;here's the numbers and here's how to add them up.Now lets make everything complicated
Graphing sine waves, cosine waves, and tangents. I couldn't grasp the concept or the value of the concept at the time, and I've never ever needed to since. I am also waiting for the day when I use a mathematical matrix to solve something.
That Pluto was a planet

How to say "No!" to drugs!
ReplyDeleteThey just made me crave Eggs Benedict. And building all of those egg drop contraptions also made me hungry but never panned out much either.
@LottaColada Right?!

LMAO- everything I learned in Hebrew school.
ReplyDeleteEquations
ReplyDeleteThe metric system.
ReplyDeleteAnd cursive. The only thing I have ever written in cursive since graduating high school is when I sign my name on a legal document.

ReplyDeleteThat Christopher Columbus discovered America. And geometry.
ReplyDeleteAlgebra, geometry and calculus
