Why is school now so useless?

I don't mean the early years of school where you learn basic math, English, reading, and stuff that you need. But, i mean in high school where they teach stuff that i will probably never use in my life. I mean, why would i want to memorize the periodic table, or algebra? I hope you guys see my point. And tbh, i don't want to be anyone special either. I just want to be a youtuber, not some biologist or something like that.

    Basically the reason why schools teach you all that useless crap (which I agree with you, most of it you will never use) is because in the near future you might have a change of heart and decide you like working with chemical compositions and decide to study fields related to chemistry, or maybe you are in college and decide that math actually is fun. But in order for you to decide what you are going to do with your future, you have to know the basics of the main courses, you cannot decide if you like or hate something before you try it.

    I kind of agree, but you can leave at 16, which is before you get in to the crazy stuff like quantum mechanics etc.

    People under that age shouldn't be making decisions that affect their career, and I can guarantee that because I'm under that age, and I realize that it is necessary.

    You will never be a famous YouTuber. Trust me. Never.
