I really couldn't care less about english. I honestly haven't learned anything useful in my 4 years at high school. I've taken the most advanced english classes possible, but I want to be an engineer, and I do not need to know how to interpret the meaning in a poem/novel/etc. It's a complete waste of time; it's like they ran out of stuff to teach us in middle school so they decided to come up with some bullcrap to keep us busy for the next 4 years. Another thing... http://progressiveboink.com/nick/images/calvinandhobbes/CH940127.JPG Do I really need to know stuff like that? No, not really. That's why I think that some history is good, but we don't really -need- to know exact dates for all the information we're given; I don't remember half the dates I learned in my AP US History class last year because it was pointless. |
Music- rational thinking, understanding of inherent bueaty, understand the contectedness fo the world
English- Thematic thinking, communication. (Honestly, if you want to be a top engineer, you need this subject alot. The same way a top accountant needs social skills. The project manager has to write out the propoals/understand how everything connect, and be able to talk well. English helps with this. Most engieers don't have it, which is why the leader does)
ect
most subjects are important overall. Art is more personall and beyond basic art its probably not that worthwhile unless a person really wants to pursue art.
