if you had to choose one subject in school that you thought was the least-useful in life, which one would you choose?

- (Your Language)
- Social Studies, Geography, History
- Science
- Math (Algabra, etc.)
- (Language other then yours)
- any other subjects that i dont know because i dont take them yet

I'd say Language other then yours. Simply because not everyone needs to know another language. I was thinking about Social Studies, Geography, History but i guess its useful to know about the past, and the countrys and such. But i definitly think math is useful. What are your thoughts?

To most people subjects like Math and Science are stupid and a waste of time (the advanced ones), but the general point of making you take them is to show colleges that you can commit to several years of one things getting more and more advanced, and to expose you to a bunch of different things to help you decide what you want to do in life.

I personally dislike how our school district made us take IPC (Integrated Physics and Chemistry), which was a basic intro to both, then forced us to take one or the other in addition to bio. I think if we decided that we didn't like either we should have been allowed to continue in Bio and go to Bio II in place of physics and chemistry.

edit: @ Meastro: Do they force you to take spanish or is it a foreign language? Down where I live (Texas) spanish is highly useful if you're going into certain industries or works.
