Pointless I don’t think it is however some of the classes are especially in college when you have to pay for courses that have nothing to do with your major & that is why I wish colleges were more like trade schools.
No, school provides information that you will use later in life. Yes, some of the things you're taught will never be used by you, but much of it will. Plus, it's a time to develop emotionally and learn social skills.
Obviously not since statistics show the more school you complete the better off you are. But it could be better. Like maybe less algebra and more stock market training?

School is there to teach you all sorts of stuff; school should go beyond academics. School teaches you discipline and respect for authority. You are old enough to drop out: so go ahead if you find it pointless. The world does need dumb manual laborours to dig trenches in 20 below zero conditions.
School used to be really good for brainwashing children to be good American citizens who are respectful towards their elders and who valued education but apparently it doesn't do that anymore

Each person needs a minimal amount of education.
High school should include an option to learn about the trades such becoming an electrician or plumber.
Most college majors are useless in term of finding employme t.
No, but unrequired education is. If i dont need to ever use it in life dont teach it.
No. Here they could just renwe the things that they teach and all but overall school is important
No, the whole process is more important than the curriculum itself.

When you're 16, you tend to think it is because you're sure you already know everything there is to know, or need to know. LOL.

Online school is as bullshit as its ever gona be.
Old school is the best.
finally someone said it.
The educational system is so bad, so ineffective, that it must be on purpose. There is a point to it, but it’s a horrible point.
Up to a certain level, school is a necessity.
Past that point, it actually seems to make people dumber and more gullible.
Nah, dawg. It may seem pointless now, but you'll look back on it when you're my age and you'll be happy you did it. Hang in there, little' G.
Id imagine it's very different than when I was in school. Pointless... well that depends of your actually learning anything.
Starting from High School it becomes pointless (Education wise)
As an experience it's absolutely not pointless
highschool is yes, because they don't teach you anything you would actually need to know when you graduate
No. But I do think it's subpar in how it's been implemented. Not to say I'm an expert and definitively know a better/the best way, though.
Depends on what you want to accomplish, but I hate the system set-up either way.
if you are doing it online yes! I do like going to class though
School used to be really good for brainwashing children
to be good American citizens who are respectful towards their elders
and who valued education but apparently it doesn't do that anymore
