Why is going to school important? I had my favorite teacher in high school once say that it is not what you learn, it's how you learn it. The most important thing to learn is how to learn. Problem solving skills is what you are really learning. How to balance many different tasks at once while having a social life. Learning how to turn a HUGH problem into a bunch of little problems. How to interact with people in position of authority as well as people around you (social skills).

While having many different types of classes may, at first, seem not necessary, it is, and here is why: it points you in proper place for your future employments and enjoyments. How do you know you won't like, say, Shakespear unless you have been introduced to it. Or how would you know if you want to be an engineer if you've never had geometry. Or maybe, just maybe, politics is your choice. Those history classes may be what sparks you into being one of the great leaders of our world in the 2nd half of the 21st century. There are going to be subjects that are not your best/favorite. How you handle them shows a lot about yourself.
