why do you have to learn science and history in school because it isnt that important?

Answer 1

So science is not important, you think the people who designed your computer, made your clothes etc.. have no idea of science.

History, teaches you why the world is the way it is and it should stop people making the same mistakes.

What subjects are important then ?

English, so you can punctuate that sentence of yours?

The biggest problem with our education is a child can leave with those magic 5 or 6 grade c and above GCSEs, but they are in religious studies, general studies, art, media, drama and other non central skills.
There is not the quantity of work out there for the number of people doing the fluffy easier topics, but loads of need in the country for skilled, well educated professionals doing maths, engineering and sciences. Hence the number of foriegn working coming over for the money.

Answer 2

We learn Science because it's important to have a basic knowledge of how the world works if not for our own safety also so we don't look like a dumbass when we ask a question about something we should have known from third grade. We learn history because if we don't we'll be doomed to repeat our mistakes. Is it boring? Sometimes; but that doesn't make it any less important.

Can you explain why it's not important? It sounds like you are simply bored by it which is fine. I hated math in school mostly because it was boring and I was never very good at it. Just because of that I never thought seriously that it wasn't worth learning though.

Answer 3

Because of a knowledge and being an all around person. It is very important to learn your history in school. It tells you about the past. Where you came from. How things evolved. How you are to be. We can learn from the past. Science is important because it teaches us about research and how make this world a better planet. To help people to live a better life. Without science, how would we discover other planets? How would we discover cures for cancer and heart diseases.

Answer 4

obviously it depends on your chosen career, and at 13 (not saying you are 13) perhaps you have not yet decided so a good mix of subjects might be useful. Personally I loved history and was fairly good a biology (in the early 80s...)
If you want to be a doctor science is very important and to think history is not important is a shame - your roots are your own history, surely that's of interest to you?
But as I am now a secretary, no, neither were helpful in the long run! Try to Enjoy School - I know all adults say this but believe me they really are the best years of your life. AND I hated school.

Answer 5

Both are very important. History is a study of the mistakes people have made before, and are re-creating now. The wealthy are pushing the world back to the old imperialist model, except it's corporate imperialism instead of nationalism. And it's worse today.

The point is, you do NOT KNOW what's important. You're an ignorant kid. That's why you're in school.

Answer 6

in case you mean 'substantial' interior the experience of having a activity then I share your disillusion as there are a lot of opportunities obtainable that don't care a jot whether you recognize any technology or history. i think of that the only reason scholars are forced to study history and technology is to maintain the lecturers in a activity. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that in case you recognize some history you will understand what has befell interior the previous, and that's an fairly solid clue related to the destiny. And if by twist of destiny you decide directly to understand how your physique works and how a vehicle works then i could say that technology will help.

Answer 7

So, if you're really ill and need to go to hospital, and you're depending on modern medicine and technology (eg CAT scans)...I'll bet you're glad that the clever doctors studied science!
And history...how on earth do we know about ancient Egypt, the Romans etc without historians studying the clues?. And even modern history is useful - eg, World War II was a major factor in today's world geography. You ought to know that, and be grateful that because of WWII you don't speak German as your native language.

Answer 8

If you think it not important, it shows that you are really ignorant.And that is why you need to go to school.

Answer 9

If you can't prove you can take in basic knowledge and understanding, what makes you think colleges/Universities/governments would want to invest in teaching you specific subjects?

Knowledge is power.

Answer 10

Perhaps you'd prefer to study customer services, with an emphasis on fast food outlets, instead. Now, repeat after me, "Would you like fries with that?"
