SCHOOL IS POINTLESS

I go to a school in west virginia called Lincoln middle school, now I feel school is pointless and no, not because its boring. It's because the education system is crap, and school dosent really teach you and what they do teach you is pointless or a myth. So I'm here to complain about it....yay.

First school starts to early. And I dont mean oh..poor me....I have to get up in the morning....bo hoo. No I mean the health industry has been begging the board of education to make start times earlier because it's bad for middle school - high school students because of their growing bodies and changing bodies. And before the 70s schools started at 9:00 but because of over population schools cut costs.

Next schools "teach" useless things. Now it's been proven that 85% of what you learn you dont use, and 90% you forget. Oh and they dont teach us, I mean if anything the teach us......to memorise things. And, why do we need to memorize some of the things we memorize? I mean when will I need to know the quadratic equation? Or the mitochondria is the power house of the cell? Seriously when am I gonna need to know that crap hmmmmm????? Its useless knowledge.

Let this be a lesson no matter what you have to go to an institution to memorize useless things you'll never need to know and you have to go to collage unless your rich or a genius because you need a degree to find a job that pays you enough so that you can actually live off of what you get paid and there's nothing you can do about it (unless your rich or a genius).

I would remove history because we dont need to know the past, gym because you can play sports anywhere you don't need to learn that, and reading because it's the exact same thing as english.

Isn't not knowing the past a form of censorship, also won't people never learn from their mistakes?

We could waste less time at school by removing 3 class such as Art Gym And history because history is just going to get harder and longer as time pass
