How much from school do you remember/use?

[Redway]

Well?

[MTVN]

Tbh I don't remember a huge amount from pre-a level, certainly not any knowledge that I'd use, although I do still carry with me stuff I learned doing a level literature, history and economics

[Redway]

How much of that will you need to use post-university, though?

[MTVN]

Well I think a solid knowledge of economics is always helpful and helps you understand a lot of things, same with history. It's not always just about specific details as well, the majority of school subjects give you a lot of practical skills which you use in everyday life

[Roy Mars III]

I remember all the stuff I use nowadays: my history, philosophy, literature classes

but I forgot all the useless stuff like math and science

[Redway]

but I forgot all the useless stuff like math and science

Yeah, exactly. Those are natural strengths of mine but it's absolutely true that nearly all of it is abstract, unnecessary tedium...it's a shame as maths is actually essential for life in general but schools are likely to weed out pupils rather than focus on what actually matters.

[Jesus.]

I still steal lunch money from people, so I'd say I retained the important stuff.

[Lee.]

I remember every symbol I'm the periodic table which is useful in pub quizzes and still know quite a lot of Latin. Oh and biology too.

I don't remember a lot of German and maths was a complete waste if time.

[Niall]

Nearly all of my GCSE maths knowledge, like algebra and all the shapes stuff, I've largely forgotten because well.. I never have and never will need to use that in everyday life. I've forgotten nearly all the chemistry, physics and biology stuff I was taught at GCSE too.

The only stuff I really remember from GCSE is all the english stuff and geography stuff but that's what I was most interested in at the time. I'm doing A-Levels now so I can't really comment on that yet really. :laugh:

[reece(:]

I can remember my Electronics, probably because that was my favourite and the subjects that I've built upon and doing at A Levels - I can obviously remember. **** like French and History though have gone straight out the window. I don't really think you can forget English..

[Redway]

they do electronics at GCSE :suspect:

[reece(:]

they do electronics at GCSE :suspect:
I got an amazing-A in it thank you very much. :suspect:

[Princess]

Not a lot, just random titbits really. Considering I studied Irish for 14 years I remember about 5 words of it, ditto French for 6 years. That's probably because I didn't want to remember them though.

[Apple202]

Didn't have you down as a tech person, Reece

[InOne]

Got my education on the street innit

[Billy]

not alot! maths is the most pointless subject ever, i think. considering you do like ten years worth of stuff... the only things worth knowing are the adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing.

This. It's a ****ing pain in the ass and such a waste of time.

[lostalex]
