Your question is similar to ask about knowledge... it is useful or unuseful?
Oh, yes. I have to answer something, not ask.
Like you make physical exercises to take shape, studying is very important to improve your ratiocination or give you power of argumentation.
Since I was kid, my parents taught me like this: "like muscles of your arms, you need to exercise your brain, your neurons".
So, as you mentioned, by learning history you will know more about your past, present and the future around you. Learning math, you will exercise part of your brain that improves your memory and helps to discern logical things better.

How can you ever expect to have world peace if you do not know the history of how we each got to where we are now? Some of the worlds greatest conflicts are generations and even centuries old. You must have knowledge of this to bring us all into a time of respect, understanding and peace. Please learn your history with an open mind and give us all a chance. Thank you.

Math with out a shadow of a doubt. History, well, let me tell you as an adult, it's nice when you can mingle with kings and queens as well as everyday people, know what they.re talking about and feel smart when you're able to converse back. What I'm saying is knowledge opens "Every door imaginable" There is no limit to what you can do when you have knowledge.

When you're young, you think only natural science ( math included) is important. Once you get older, you start appreciating history more and more. If only humanity knew its history, remembered and learned from past mistakes! History is not only about "what happened", it is about "why it happened"

be honest with yourself.
do you ask these same questions about the real wastes-of-time-and-money that you are inundated with outside of school?
tv shows, fashion, myspace, shoes, gap, xbox, ?????
yes, you need to know history and math if you do not want to become a victim of what most of the rest of the world is going to try and sell you.

Will you ever need to know everything you learn in school? Absolutely not.
School is teaching you how to learn new things, how to use various frameworks to approach problems. Can we learn from various things we learned in school, in order to do something different? For example, can we learn anything now about Iraq or Palestine that will help in the next crisis?
