Useless school subjects.
« on: January 09, 2012, 03:45:12 PM »
1. Religion
2.English
 name some more if you want

 Here are my reasons for Religion. All it does is constantly repeat itself and gives usless information that has no affect in our life whatsoever(And cause im an anthiest)  :D

English, its not really english its more like a WTF subject, such as "wat does the author mean to say when in the book it says its raining?" WTF IT MEANS ITS FUCKING RAINING >:(

Actually, English is a very important subject - perhaps one of the most. It isn't just about interpreting what Shakespeare or whatever other author meant when they wrote something but also about expressing ideas and opinions in a coherent and clear manner. Too many people these days talkz lik dey got droopd on dere hed as a kid.

Religion should be covered in Psychology or History, not a subject of its own where people force ideas on you. Rather, it should be about the social or historical significance of religious groups, practices and beliefs.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Strongly agree on there, but for english all we do now is interepret these things instead of actual engilsh. some things i cant spell anymore, but otherwise english does teach a good things, i really meant to say the subject i think is useless is interpreting the author. i really do like that cause im not really poet like.

I can't remember doing much in Religious education, we didn't learn much about religion though. I disagree that it's useless, ignorance is one of the worst things on the planet, a poor education in this field can quickly lead to prejudice. However, If I was in charge of the curriculum, I would replace RE with Sociology... which is basically what the class was anyway to a lesser extent.

I personally didn't find any class at school useless. That said, I can't remember a single thing I was taught in Chemistry.

i agree that if you have a whole class for religion, its a bit absurd. i learned about all the major religions in what we call social studies, but that also included history and other stuff. ass for english, i think that its pretty useful, but mostly to reporters, newspaper editors, novelists, and such.

There's no useless subject - basically everything is connected to our life ( excluding hardcore math - I'm waiting patiently for the day to come when I'll need to use those delta formula), however I'd replace religion with morality lessons or sth like that. If you want learn about religion go to church or read Bible or other holy stuff.

I agree with the others as there really is not a useless subject in school.

That said, I can not think of an area to apply Calculus BC other than engineering. Damn anti-derivatives and formulas.

Atheism the largest growing religion in the world  ;D

Its not a religion, its just atheism. It is fast because people are realizing how bad religion really is if you watch the news, theres always some war going on in the middle east about religion, well not knwo but there usually was. And it stops human progress

Atheism is the belief that religion does not exist and we are created by evolution.

Because it is based around central beliefs it can be considered a religion.

Not caring is what I am. I don't care if a god of sorts put me here or if I evolved from monkeys. The point is I'm here now and I am going to try my best to work hard into the world and try the "Rags to Prosperity" as my family before me.

(By the way, I was raised Roman Catholic. Catholic school all that. Church 3 times a week. Ugh.)
