I say to myself, I hear others rant about it in the halls, in classrooms, at home, around town.  Why does school suck? This is one of those life long questions that no one ever seems to figure out. Can anyone answer this question? Has school/college been designed this way? Designed to discourge people from learning and successfully taking in information and applying it to their life? When do you ever apply anything from school to your life besides simple math(addition, subtraction, multiplication,division) and english. Or is all this information we’re gathering in small boxes for hours on end really pointless at the end of the day.  I sit in class bored to death listen to a teacher who probably doesnt want to be here either. Where does this all really apply? When will I need triganomerty? When will you need to know world history when your sitting behind a desk at a seven to five job listening to your boss pressure you for those weekly reports about where the money went for his yaht. Yes we can use this information on game shows but in the real world do you really need to know  the square root of t(a/2)/n? Can you ever really use this information to advance your career?  Maybe, if your an accountant!

I am a film major and I’m on my fourth year of college and I must take so many advanced hours of classes that are pointless to my major.  Why must I do this, there is no relevance. Yes I learn a thing or two but are those things really that significant and life changing? Plus it cost money to learn this stuff. Do I really need to pay so many thousands of dollars to learn life lesson that I could learn on my own?
