What you learned in school. Are you using it now?

Yes I do use all I had learned today as well. But later in life I took trade school and that stays with me the most.

I would kind of take an opposite on Latin. . . so much of English is based on Latin that it greatly improved my vocabulary. Learning to decline sentences in the Latin class helped me learn more about the parts of speech in English. Of course maybe I just had a better Latin teacher than any of my English teachers. I took a lot of advanced math, like geometry and trigonometry, and I believe that it would have been better to have taken practical math classes. . . I would have used them more. Classes I use the most from junior high through college:7th grade science, 8th grade Civics, Debate and Public Speaking in High School, and Swimming in college. Civics because I was introduced to the idea of writing a budget. 7th grade science because the teacher was dedicated to exposing us to real life, everything from construction and astronomy to birth defects and mental retardation. Debate helped me learn how to research a topic and explore many facets of any question and public speaking to present the ideas. Swimming, which I learned in college, has been a life long skill and was something I could also pass to my kids. I agree that there were many things I did not directly use from school, but some I am very glad to have studied.

I am also 66 and the only thing I have seriously used since I left school is English. It was always my passion. I hated Maths, was rubbish at PE. English was the only thing I was good at and it has been very useful to me over the years with my online activities.

Yes I always applied it on my daily life

You learnt Latin on that time? WOW.. brilliant :D I used to have Sundanese class (West Java Local Language -- Indonesia). Thanks God, now i do not have it now haha. The pronunciation sounds like Korean haha

I still struggle to comprehend why i ever did chemistry and physics.Those were my worst subjects ever.I wish high school studies can be more real and they can have courses like 'business dynamics, online business and stuff like that. I wish the studies would be structured in a way to classify people according to their desires and potential preparing them for a career in line with their passion.Getting all of us to a chemistry class was so unfair...I remember i used to sleep during physics class when people were active doing experiments and the lecturers could not understand why i would find experiments that boring. I cannot pinpoint anything else that helped me besides learning English,Maths and Christian Religious Education.

I think I use most of what I learned in school daily. Especially math, just plain common math and since it was my all time favorite I thrive with anything numbers. From the age is 16 up till today I still budget money. Then around the age 20 I began my own business and keeping the books. Reading and writing, I did stray from both for a couple years and I must say I am not the best at spelling but won spelling bee`s in school. Science I loved but not sure how I use it today. History, I hated it. The only thing I learned from that is if it went bad once, don`t do that again. P.E. I hated in school because I already played baseball, basketball and ran and biked and all that because I come from a large family and we were the ball team! So yes I use it.

Since , I teach I do use what I learnt at school

Good question. Now you are making me think haha this is funny. But what is your favorite subject?

Most of the things we use in our life, what we are taught at school/
