Thread Name: BS: Useful / Useless things learnt at school
Subject: RE: BS: Useful / Useless things learnt at school
I did History.. and I knew for me it would soon be a thing of the past!!!
I did Geography but could never find the classroom.
Mathematics just didn't add up.
English but I already speaked it
French was good because I have been to France many times and French speaking countries and needed the language sometimes.
Latin was excellent when I was a cop.... English Law uses many Latin terms, especially in Court work.
Chemistry... has never been of much use ( but the chemistry I felt when the French teacher... Mademoiselle Soubile.. walked in WOW)
Physics...... I hated and have never found a use for since.
MUSIC>>>> singing solo and with the choir for school... good grounding for my Folk singing in the seventies/eighties.
Art... I was a natural and have used it to some degree since school.
The great thing my school did for me was educate me in middle class living... I was from a very poor working class background but passed a scholarship for Boarding School..... or perhaps it wasn't so great....who knows???
