Yes they did but in many ways in the way that it was meant at the time. Class wise the only class that I really used during my early post high school years was Home Ec. During the years I had school age children most of the class helped because I could use the knowledge from my school years to help my children through thiers. All of my adult years I have used the following things learned in High School---how to wade through reams of paperwork, the number of years that a person has lived in thier lifetime is NO indicator of that person's maturity or wisdom level. Some 50 year olds are less mature and wise than some 13 year olds. Stupidity comes in all ages, sizes, sexes and ethnic groups. Common Sense is rare and real friendship is a treasure that is priceless.

The one useful thing I learned in high school was how to study, and a love of history (Thank you, Mrs. Wingate. Rest in peace).

On the other hand, aside from the emotional turmoil, you're never as carefree as you are in high school. Adulthood is when things really start to suck.

The one thing high schools -- well, schools in general these days -- are failing to teach is how to handle failure. We are so concerned with the kids' "self-esteem," we're teaching them the world owes them unconditional acceptance. Unfortunately, the real world doesn't work that way. I fear for our future, with the generation of overindulged, undereducated wimps coming out of high schools now.

Yes, schooling will always help. You'll find as life goes on you'll wish you might have taken different classes. In my field of work I wish I would have taken chemistry & physics. Sometimes the things we learn have use latter in life. Enjoy

Well I've found algebra helpful when I'm trying to figure out how much those $400 shoes will cost me after a 35% discount.

If you mean as far as subject in school...absolutely they do.

If you mean life lessons, I think it depends on whether you see them as positive or negative. I had a very unhappy time in high school and at the same time...looking back, I could have had a better attitude and at least tried to see good in some things. <>

No. The things I learned in the military and college helped me more.

'A code system is always the result of a mental process (it requires an intelligent origin or inventor) . . . It should be emphasized that matter as such is unable to generate any code. All experiences indicate that a thinking being voluntarily exercising his own free will, cognition, and creativity, is required.'

No, I scored so high on my GED I got a 3,000 a year scholarship to college. I could have passed it out of middle school. I despise our education system.
