Nothing they should add more classes like state and federal law, rights and amendments. Constitutional law, ethics, psychology, what your body needs, Rules governing taxes and your credit score, balance and the wonderful things it brings. All these should be taught so our future together is better for all. Also the difference between parisitic and symbiotic relationships and how applying those roles to your life makes a huge difference in you're choices.
High School English. I'm sorry but if I hear one more "The curtains were blue" be interpreted as depression in a miraculous amount of 2000 different forms one more time I swear to god
We had a subject called computer studies, the lessons we learnt at 15 were totally obsolete by the time we reached 25... so whilst I'm not saying it was useless it moves at a far more rapid rate than history/geography lol
Most of the stuff is. I've learned more from work and people I've met at meetings than from uni and high school, I'd say it's just a distraction so you become a robot and forget to think about the important things.
Depends what you are interested in. There will always courses you find useless but are useful to someone else

Reading poems or stories and then discussing and writing about them. I get it if you are studying Languages or something like that. But if you are studying, engineering, medical stuff or hell even math. You should not be forced to collect credits through those classes.
Gender studies, LGBTQ studies, Race studies, White studies, liberal arts, or basically anything that starts with the word "liberal" or ends in the word "studies". No worthwhile subject has "studies" attached, even "social studies".

My 9th grade health class. Not health class in general, but my health class specifically. The other health teacher actually taught health. My health teacher made us watch lifetime movies.

Personally, I always thought art-type classes (drawing, music, etc.).
They had me remember names and dates. Like yeah knowing the year when the cotton gin was invented is going to help a whole lot in today's society

PE. I hated it. I can’t swim & to get graded on how well you can is stupid. Even getting graded on other sport like netball & rugby. Who cares how well you can play
Are you Australian by any chance do they still grade you on your swimming skills? I can't swim either so I was always given the yellow Certificate card it was so embarrassing getting yellow and seeing other srudents get red and blue which were the excellent swimmer cards
We never got graded on PE though we 90% of the time just played sport for fun the rare times we were in the classroom was only because it was raining or it was a very hot day that day
I think most glasses can be beneficial. Though in high school we began to have written test and sit down lectures in gym which is completely pointless.

It depends on what value each subject is to the individual.
Thank you
I don't think any of them are useless, but if I had to choose it would be literature
religion and algebra, what they should be teaching is how to deal with daily life, form filling and coping with bills, money management
Geography :/
We don't need to know so much in detail.
The most useless subject taught in School for me Geometry

Civics aka propaganda

History... because it's been historically taught inaccurately!
