When you finished your last year of school, what is the one thing you were glad you NEVER had to do again?

Mine was 100% math. The subject plagued my entire educational career, but oddly enough I was always in honors courses and went to a medical high school where I had to take all advanced math classes and some AP college courses in order to graduate. I think my last math class ever was my junior year in university. The day I found out I'd passed the final, got my final required credits, I quite literally threw a party which ended in me burning my math tablets in a bonfire.

So how about you? What thing were you so glad you never had to do again once you graduated?

Take meaningless classes and learn meaningless things I would never use in my career nor life. A good portion of school is just robbing us of money and wasting our time. Even before college there is so much we learn that is wasteful. That's why kids need to be asked and or asked to figure out what they want out of life sooner so they change the school system. YOU GOT PEOPLE WHO DID ALL THAT LEARNING AND ARE BUMS... The system is messed up. Most people never even earning that much money lol. Something is clearly wrong with our system because it doesn't prepare people at all nor allow students to truly know they can be what they want to be instead of chasing money.

I remember reading "The Giver" and thinking, why don't schools focus more like that? When kids start to really show an aptitude for something, divert useless subjects away from them, and pull focus on the things that will help them with their interests. This is partially what college is, but this needs to happen sooner because a lot of kids hate school because they are told they need all the knowledge in the world in order to function.

Deal with Academia and their "Don't know how" but think they know everything with their absurd theories...
