30 Things You Learned In School That Are Virtually Useless Now

There are so many things that you learned in school, and now you’re looking back and wondering, was all crap really worth learning? You already know the answer to that question.

You could’ve spend those precious years learning things that you’d actually need, like how to fix your own car, how insurance works, how to give someone CPR, how to take better care of your mental health, or how to file taxes properly to avoid going to jail.

Those would’ve been nice to learn. Instead, there were these 30 insane, useless things you learned in school.

“The Canterbury Tales”

Reading “The Canterbury Tales” was torture, and not the kind you’d enjoy after a softcore BDSM session. They made you try to figure out what this book is all about, as if any college or boss would be impressed that you actually read it.

The Periodic Table

The periodic table of elements confused the heck out of you in science class, and to this day the only thing you remember about the whole thing is H2O, but that’s because they named a “Halloween” sequel after it.

Protractors

Did teachers think you’d really need to draw a perfect circle to get by in a career? Maybe if you’re an engineer or architect. But you don’t need that stuff to flip burgers.

Cloud Types

The difference between a cirrus cloud and a cumulonimbus cloud didn’t seem interesting then, and it’s even less interesting now, unless you’ve become a weather forecaster as an adult.

The only cloud you care about now is loaded with naked selfies of celebrities.
