One reason is that school programs are put together by people who have already graduated, lived several decades beyond the school years and know how important it is to have at least a basic understanding of a variety of subjects. Don't fool yourself thinking that the school program is too difficult, it is just the basics, which will allow you to make educated choices in life as you grow older. Admit it, it's much better to enter adulthood knowing what's going on in the world than wondering what's happening in your country's economics.
Another reason is that the younger you are the better and faster you learn. Consequently, the more you learn while you can still do it efficiently the better. Learning capacity of an average human starts slowing at 21, so generally speaking majority of us waste the most productive years on partying, being rebels without a clue and wondering "Why do we have to learn all this useless crap in school?!"
So wake up, evaluate your options and hit those books while your brain is not starting to atrophy yet.

First, you're probably too young to be able to decide which crap will be useless and which will not.
Second, even by learning useless crap you learn something good - and that's the learning technique in itself, which comes handy later on.

School is simply preparing you for the real world...and let me tell you this. ENJOY it while you can! From the day I graduated and moved out and had a real job, I wished I could be back in High School every day!...Good times, good friends, Football games, Basketball games, goign out to Pizza hut on Saturday nights..hanging with friends after School.
Enjoy it while you can!!! Don't be disgruntled about "what" they teach. Just take it in and enjoy the lack of responsibility you have now...it will be behind you very soon and you will wonder where it went.

You'd be surprised what is useful later on. Had it been up to me, I would have taken nothing but art classes in school. I knew that I wanted to have a job that would let me express my creativity, and saw no reason why I would have to learn anything else. Twenty years later, I have my own interior design business and I have discovered that the most important subject I took in school was math, specifically geometry. Stick it out, you'll be glad that you did later on.

How do you know it's useless? You haven't lived long enough to know if it's useless or not.
"There is profit in all labor." Proverb
If you've exercised your brain, it's labor, and if it's labor, there is profit. You'll see in time.

I found that everything I learned in school had some affect on my life with one exception...ALGEBRA...since I walked out on my last day of school and college I have never needed it.

School is meant to train those that want to learn.

Don't be obtuse, it's not what you learn, it's demonstrating the ability to learn.
