This x100000. My knowledge of "Casehistory: Alison (head injury)" has been of no use to me since my poetry exam in May and I can't imagine it being useful in the future either.
I'd say French, too. I've always been terrible at it so maybe i'm a little biased but I still think the gcse was pointless. Even if I was at A* standard I still wouldn't be able to hold a conversation with a French person or even respond to the simplest of questions. The only things we did during those lessons were write endless amounts of paragraphs about subjects such as "my favourite holiday", "my favourite school subject" and "what I do in my spare time". We would then memorise them then speak them to our teachers in the oral exams. No one genuinely knew how to speak French by the end of year 11.
Surprisingly I found RE to be the most relevant to real life. They never taught us about God, instead we had to learn about marriages, divorce, why wars happen, bullying etc.
