Do you think school has a purpouse or is it there to stress you?
Yes, school has a purpose...and it isn't just to stress you. This is a short sighted question that only a young student would ask.

Someone said a class for everything Tax should be required and I agree, It's a useful skill so that you are not stressed out. Also like they said, cooking classes as well.
Just curious, how do you learn Taxes without learning Math?

But really, the point of subjects like science and math is not only to fill your brain with facts, but is to teach you HOW to learn. Learning progressively more difficult math techniques expand your mind into seeing things in new ways. Without even thinking about it, your brain will apply these skills to other things in life.

Sounds like you might benefit from that World Cultures class you are proposing.

Actually I think student should learn more like they did a couple decades ago. It surprises me that students can graduate from high school without taking basics like Algebra, Biology, and at least of couple years of Foreign Languages.
