The value of science

So I was reflected on my school days, and I realized I took science classes from 7th grade to 12th grade, and off the top of my head I remember the definition of inertia, how spontaneous combustion works, and a vague outline of the scientific process.

That’s it for five years of classes. I’m confident I never used any of my science classes or the advanced math I took (and I didn’t take much), and being retired I can say that with assurance.

If they had let me skip the classes that I had never used, I could have finished high school three semesters early.

Once again, if you thought I was going somewhere with this, you were wrong.

Stay strong, my friends, and ponder the roads not taken, and the needless ones they made us take.
