And The Point Of Learning That Was?

According to research commissioned by global learning platform Quizlet, 57% of Brits agree that they were forced to learn things at school which have been of no practical use to them since and have not helped them in the real world.
I have mentioned a few times how what i learnt in Mathematics's in the 80's only succeeded in taking up vital brain space that i could have otherwise allocated to learning the lyrics to New Wave songs and that wasn't just me because Algebra, Pythagoras Theorem and Pi all appear on the 'Why the hell did they waste the time teaching us that' list.  
Science is also features heavilly with how to use a Bunsen Burner, the Periodic Table, parts of a cell and how to dissect a frog in the top 10 although i refused to cut up the frog and was made to stand outside the class with the others who said the same. I also got sent outside for holding a coin over a Bunsen Burner until it was red hot which is somehow disrespecting the Queen, i even remember my detention for that where i had to write out 500 times i will be more respectful to our Queen so i may not have learnt much from Science classes but it sure did improve my handwriting.     
I was a very sporty child and played many sports but since i left school the hours spent on the school field learning the correct way to throw a Javelin has never come in handy so that makes the top ten as does the months of torturing our parents with the recorder with Three Blind Mice because i could count the exact amount of times i have picked up the instrument since and that number is zilch.
The top 10 is rounded out by people saying that learning quotes from William Shakespeare but i don't agree with this one because although i always thought Shakespeare's stories sucked, being able to continue the few short phrases most people know is the ultimate in sounding smart alecky.
