You had a weird high school, though.

High school is weird in general. They teach odd things you dont need for anything but dont teach  you how to be successful in the world.

High school would be great if it didn't force you into social situations

okay people are always saying this lol but I can't tell you the number of times just in my first year at college I thought "damn I remember learning part of this in highschool, I wish I paid more attention/we went more in depth bc it would make this semester a lot easier". and my college courses are for my degree = my future career = my future life success so yeah highschool is kinda important imo

College is much the same way as well. Tell me why someone needs to know American History to be a computer programmer. It doesnt make much sense. I get that some aspects of high school and college are important but in a lot of areas that matter, they fall short.

Then go to trade school. Not hard.

If you're referring to college courses, core curriculums don't exist to make you a better computer programmer but a better person in general. more rounded and not closed in to your one specific field of study. Having a broader sense of the world, relating to others, etc. You can't stand to sit through your history class, but there's countless people going for degrees or having jobs they love in that field. why?? how??

Plus from my experience my core classes have been 110% easier than my actual major courses. They're designed with the idea that people are required to take them and that they might not be interested in them, but there's still a reason it's mandatory to take them. so no complaining shush

idk man learning is just cool. it's boring and stressful at times but i've gotten a bunch out of every class so far and i can't imagine not going to a school with a mandatory core

High school finals are pretty big in my area. Especially considering they're worth the same portion of the yearly grade as a quarter is worth (So 1/5 because four quarters plus final). Fail the final and you'll probably fail the year here.
