I believe the government funded educational system is there to keep individuals from critical thinking. never let school get in the way of your learning. I think children should be allowed to be educated in what they're good at and what they enjoy from day 1. if you try to put a scientist, bilinguist, historian, musician, artist, athlete and engineer all into the same brain, the kid ends up unhealthy and a workaholic for the rest of their lives
What a great idea for a college application!

Though, some of it is necessary.
Like English for poor grammar.
History class, I think would be beneficial so you could possibly understand society today (and in the future) a bit more, and debate the similarities and differences between two people like Bush and Hitler.
Biology class to me is a given. (Especially evolution and such)
Math you do need to know. Though, I think that anything beyond basic math and algebra is a waste of time.
Other required classes such as music, art, gym and foreign language are just there for you to be a 'well rounded person'. That, I think is wrong.
All this s**t may not help you with your future career, but it will help in the Gaia forums!
