So, school goes on for about 7 hours a day for about 180 days of the year. That one year of school is 1,260 hours of our life that are wasted on mostly useless subjects. now times 1,260 by 12 years of school. You get 15,120 hours. That's just 1st through 12th grade. now add kindergarten and preschool. That's 17,640 hours. That's the necessary stuff. Now bring in the BIG numbers.
For a bachelor's degree in college, you need to go through at least 4 years of college to get your degree so that's 5,040 hours of college. Add that onto the 17,640 hours of necessary school and you get 22,680 hours of schooling. That's 945 days of school. School wastes around 3 years of our life. Not all at once, but slowly every day, 7 hours by 7 hours.
Now, I'm not saying that school Isn't important. I'm just saying that we all probably don't need to know what the equation of pi is or what the Mayan god's names were. Maybe spend that time on how to defend ourselves, or how to raise a kid. Now, I'm only thirteen and in 7th grade but I've had 7 older siblings complain about how useless most parts of highschool seem. I'm just saying that those three years of our lives could be better spent.
(BTW, it's 1:30 in the morning so my math may be a Lil off so don't scream at me...)
