History, debateable unless it's modern history - but you'll have a hard time of it in later years if you know nothing about science.

If you mean 'important' in the sense of getting a job then I share your disillusion as there are plenty of opportunities out there that don't care a jot whether you know any science or history. I think that the only reason pupils are forced to learn history and science is to keep the teachers in a job.
However if you know some history you will know what has happened in the past, and that's a very good clue about the future. And if by chance you want to know how your body works and how a car works then I would say that science will help.

Without scientists what would our society be like? Learning about these things inspires young minds and can create a spark of imagination leading to great things. Some science is useful, like learning about basic circuits and growth.
We can all learn a lot from history, both mistakes and great things. Also remember that history is not just things which happened hundreds of years ago. Last week is history. To some children even the 1970s were so long ago they can hardly imagine!

If you want to live, you need to learn all you can learn.
Do you want to blow yourself up or have some other accident happen? No, I'm serious. Science is most helpful and practical.
Now history is another story! It's definitely more abstract, but if you can ask yourself some questions that you really want to know, then it becomes more interesting.
Why did my parents/grandparents come here?
Where was my family during this time in history?
How did what happened in the past influence/shape what we do today? *** This question really fires me up! Because so much of what we have and do today is a direct result of the past.
Hope this helps!

Science isnt important, errmmm no science is very important and is helping humanity evolve and live a much better and longer life.
History shows us the errors of the past and is a base for our understanding of the world we live in.
You have to learn these at school as they are the basis for our society and the lives we live.

science and history are important in a way...
could you really deny the fact that science is a part of life? almost everything involved with living concerns science. science basically teaches one to speculate and analyze. in a way, it trains you to think critically, be observant, and allows you to gain a better understanding of how things work in the world. as it is often believed, understanding knowledge is a key factor to improvement. besides, science also opens doors to possiblilities. it promotes invention and innovation. it provides several elements for practicality. since there is vast amount of knowledge (known and unknown), science enables a systematic approach to accumulating and comprehending knowledge. in such a way, learning science is like an opportunity to contribute to a practical and "ideal" state of living and a form of preparation for things to come.
history is also rather important. as a lot of people believe, history tends to repeat itself. indeed, we do not necessarily have to dwell in the past but the past can teach us ways to improve. as the cliche saying goes, experience is a great teacher. as one is taught about history, one eventually understands the strengths to maintain and the weaknesses to improve. that way, one can feel more certain about the future. learning history also encourages the appreciation of the present time. as one discovers what had to occur in the past just to attain a present state, one may find that it is truly amazing and worth appreciating.

We learn technology because of the fact it fairly is considerable to have a elementary awareness of ways the international works if not for our own risk-free practices additionally so we don't look like a dumbass as quickly as we ask a question approximately something we could consistently have conventional from third grade. We learn historic previous because of the fact if we don't we are going to be doomed to repeat our blunders. Is it uninteresting? sometimes; yet that would not make it any much less considerable. are you able to describe why it fairly is not considerable? It seems such as you're in basic terms bored by potential of it that's high-quality. I hated math in college regularly because of the fact it became uninteresting and that i became on no account superb at it. in basic terms because of the fact of that I on no account theory heavily that it wasn't well worth getting to understand however.

I can't see how anyone can ignore the importance of History or Science.
Certainly, as far as History is concerned - if you don't know where you've come from, you can't know where you're going.

You take an English language course first! (they not it)
You say that science and history are unimportant subjects.
History helps one to understand the very foundations of the society which we share with other people. It helps to promote tolerance of other people's views.
Without science you would not be able to communicate effectively nor, again, to understand the ways in which things work and interrelate.
......just for starters!

science is extremely important as it is needed in a lot of good jobs and history is really just for general knowledge.
