(Re: 5 least useful things learned in school)
My youngest is in 10th grade.
1- Evolution as fact.
2- Homosexual lifestyle acceptance.
3- Any Social Studies or History class that starts off with a lesson on mankind 1,000,000 years ago.
I can't think of any others right now, but I'm sure I would if I gave it some more thought.

#4 - American was not founded as a Christian nation. We have religious freedom. We can choose to worship or not worship any diety that we see fit.
#5 - Big Bang Theory
#6 - Any sex education whatsoever, including calling our body parts by the right name.
Strangely enough, most people don't see reveling in ones ignorance as a positive thing. But, there you go, what can one say? Out of the mouths of babes etc.
5 Least useful things I learned in school:
1) Jesus died and came back to life
2) Jesus rode a donkey and had leaves waved at him
3) God loves me
4) a kid who grew up with a lot of older siblings could hit me harder than a kid who was the oldest sibling (actually that one was pretty useful...I learned real fast to stay away from the quiver full families)
5)creationism as fact
The 5 most useful things I learned in school (once I was expelled from the Catholic system and thrown to the wolves in the public system):
1) evolution as fact
2) math, algebra, trigonometry et al
3) physics
4)all the fun stuff about the human anatomy and how the different parts go together (i.e. sex ed)
5) learning about history such as neanderthals, Lucy, the holocaust et al.
I'm truly grateful to the Catholic school system for expelling me as early as they did. If they hadn't I probably wouldn't be able to spell "University" let alone have gone to one.
I can't think of any others right now, but I'm sure I would if I gave it some more thought.
translation, give me more time to think stuff up
One, two, three ...
Lemme try again.
One, two, three ...
Damn!
One, two, three ...
You promised five. You did, you promised five.
Things I'd rather he believed:
1- Magic fruit, talking snakes and donkeys, staffs turning into serpents and water turning into wine.
2- Homosexuals are despicable people who ought to be beaten senseless, tied to a fence and left to freeze to death.
3- Nobody's a real Christian except us and the 60 members of our cult church.
"3- Any Social Studies or History class that starts off with a lesson on mankind 1,000,000 years ago. "
What? I call bullshit on that. Either that or your kid really does happen to go to a fucking shit school. I'd say option "A" is more likely.
More thought?
More?

Confused?
