Poll on what you learned in high school

Hey all, I want to see if high school curriculum is truly effective. I'm thinking of running a poll on the most useless things you've learned in high school; what do you guys think about this?

This sounds like an interesting project! People's perceptions of what was 'useless' or valuable in their high school education can vary widely based on their interests, career paths, and life experiences, so I imagine you will get diverse responses. Here are some things to consider in your poll design:

- Subjects/categories: Consider breaking your poll down into categories or subjects (like Math, Science, History, etc) for easier quantification of data. Some respondents might have found trigonometry less useful in their daily lives, while others might see no real-world application for abstract philosophical concepts.

- Timing: When respondents took certain classes could matter too. They may not have seen the relevance of a subject at the time, but hindsight could change their views.

- Application: Is the information useless because they never use it in their day-to-day life, or because the information is outdated or incorrect?

- Life Skills: Many people feel that high school fails to teach some crucial life skills like personal finance, taxes, and critical thinking. You might want to include a section on 'missed opportunities' or skills respondents wish they had learned in high school.

Remember to take all replies with a grain of salt – education can have many intangible benefits, and what one person deems useless, another might see as soul-enriching or essential to their career. Approach this with a mindset of curiosity and openness, and you could gain fascinating insights!
