Title: what's the single most useless thing u learnt in school that u remember
Post by: ME## on August 24, 2015, 04:43:53 PM
for some reason or another, i vividly remember spending an entire week in fifth grade "preparing for the real world"  in which we would be "adults who needed to know how to write cheques". 


i have never written a cheque myself, don't have any  and have only touched two since that time in sixth grade when mother dearest gave me one to put in my school lunch account.

Everything that was useless was really a metaphor for a valuable life lesson and thus was not useless.
