Without a basis of mandatory curriculum there would be chaos. It may be worthless but it's what you make of it.

I already posted an opinion on a similar topic, so I will give the same answer here.

AR15 wrote Core classes are needed. You need to understand the basics in core classes to be able to understand higher level thinking in next level classes. Good idea though.

I feel high schools make you take all these classes to see if you are interested in one subject over another, eventually when you go to college you have to pick a major. So for example you may not like bio or chemistry but another student understands the concepts very well and may want to pursue a career in that type of field. As for the people who don't care about school don't worry about them wish them luck when it comes to finding a job that pays a good salary

you can thank the common core smh....

i think we should be able to pick all of our classes to suit our future career path.

Most students are raised different and don't understand how much a education is truly worth. I know my education has helped me in life with everything I do. I took every class and actually graduated with more credits than I even needed.
In real life I use stuff most people don't know. I power lifted and used supplements in high school so when I was in chemistry I would pick my teachers brain apart and ask her what was in my iPod because they only show formulas and not specific names. I took culinary classes just for fun to better my cooking skills. I used photography classes to better my photo taking on a daily basis. The core classes just help you have a better understanding on history. For example education is also needed because I have heard people who live in America that if you asked them when Thomas Jefferson died and give them dates and times you can get them to answer before the year 1776. Every American should know what important document was signed in 1776.

I feel as if everyone experiences this in high school. Kids trying to break from the norm

Honestly it all depends on the school system you are under and the teachers you have. Mine is complete bullshit. For example my web design teacher graded us on drawing a sandwich. My friends sandwich looked a lot better than mine, I got a 10/10 and he got a 8/10.
Another example is that my biology teacher told us to right a 16 bar rap song. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BIOLOGY!
I'm not learning anything in half my classes so I personally disagree with your rant

That being said, many careers involving health need the background of said sciences. That background knowledge can even be used later in life if somebody changes their mind about the career they want.
