They round out your education rather than just focus on your major. It just happens that most electives seem trivial. Maybe a way to get different types of students to interact.

It gives students a "break" from core classes--especially when they're "standardized tested" to death.
Also, it's a chance for students to explore possible college majors or post-secondary trades.

1. They give students who aren't college prep something to do.
2. They give teachers who don't want to teach college prep curriculum something to do.
3. They can teach life skills that one wouldn't get in college prep curriculum, e.g. shop classes, or stock market.

helps you to learn more life skills, rather than just basic academics.

they are supposed to broaden your horizons, I don't like them, they are a waste of time and energy.
