What did you learn in school that you've never used?

Everything.
Honestly.

My brain does calculus every time I drive the car.

And if you don't use algebra what happens when you go shopping? Do you just buy more than you have money for?

No, that is actually employed now and again

There's probably a lot of stuff I learned that I have completely forgotten or never used, but education is never a waste of time, children.

Most of the leaving cert syllabi.. The junior cert, a fair bit aswell. I really dont get why they teach what they do.. Its like as if they feel they have to teach something so they stick to what they've always taught. The exceptions are english :the ability to communicate well via the written word) and french (need to know about other cultures, and may use it in future.. To sound classier than you) but in terms of the others, junior level will do and you'd be better off with psychology, philosophy, art, technology, music.. The right person with the wrong method is better than the wrong person with the right method so train people to be better people (or at least use modern technology to provide the option cost effectively) which can be better done with more liberal subjects *snort*

To be honest I don't use anything I learned after Primary School.

Reading the price of something and checking if you have enough money is hardly Algebra. Personally, I've been able to do that long before I started school.

Spellings can be predicted by my iphone so learning to spell was such a waste of time.
