@@classified022 Tbh I dont get that. I mean sure I can see if you dont like part of the subject you study but I would never be able to bring myself to study something I have no interest in. Ironically Biology is indeed what I study lol
Doing a degree in a subject is nothing like high school. I hated maths until I was like 16 now I’m in my 1st year of a mathematics degree and loving it.
(Pre-emptive caveat: My experience was 20 years ago, so I don't know if it's the same for kids today.) NL might have had a different opinion of it if he went to school in a country with five thousand years of history instead of one or two thousand. Indian history starts from ~3000 BC (the Indus Valley Civilization) and goes all the way to 1950 (independence from the British) and is full of memorizing which ancient Indian kingdom conquered which other ancient Indian kingdom, and which king built what city and wrote what books. We didn't even get to learn anything about the rest of the world, not even the two World Wars, because everything happening in the country was already a lot. It wasn't a "bad teacher" problem; it was an institutional "bad curriculum" problem. It was literally a way to check if a student can memorize absolutely inane BS and then forget it to make room for the next round of inane BS, year after year. The only way I got through it was knowing I'd be able to drop it in eleventh grade (along with Geography and Civics, the other two "rote memorization" subjects I hated). Fuck that shit; put it in F where it belongs. /rant Anyway, great video, mostly agree with everything else, pogged out of my gourd, etc.
@Andrew S Tompkins jesus here in Portugal my physics pabs what the teacer describing the experiment and then use doing the exercises in the book and making a report without actually doing the experiment
I used to teach Maths so here's my take on the application. It's taught in schools because it requires children to think. Sometimes an answer can come to you immediately, but often in Maths the point is to really scratch your head and make connections. Wicked good for the brain and training yourself to have a mathematical mind will help you to see many aspects of life with more clarity and focus.
I'm a math major atm; I think you can do better than that. Mathematics is the study of *abstraction* . Numbers and functions are abstractions, just as are groups, rings, fields, topological spaces, diffeologies, knot polynomials, manifolds, differential forms, metacategories, Sobolev spaces. Capacity for abstraction is one of the best contenders for what separates human beings from animals; formal logic is beginning to undergird philosophical studies of epistemology, ethics, and metaphysics. We study math in school because it has applications in every single place humans think. School math is not useless or pointless, is not mere reasoning practice--it forms a basis for truly general mathematical study, the kind where this level of applicability becomes obvious. Without the intuitions for the real number line, it is impossible to understand epsilon-delta arguments; without intuition for the integers mod n, it is impossible to understand factor groups; without intuition for polynomials, it is impossible to understand them over general rings; without intuition for Cartesian space, it is impossible to understand its topological generalizations.
Maths is a little frustrating for me. I was trying to add fractions and instead of doing 3×2 my brain did 3+2 and then I was wondering why it wasn't correct until I saw the answer...
@@duncanw9901 Is the study of abstraction, that is most if only applicable to higher levels of math. Not math up to calculus, which is the highest level non math majors are going to take. That is not doing "better" Doesn't help anyone except a math major.
History A+ let's goooooooo! My high school and university history departments thank you deeply. Also hilarious how you mention every high school history class starts with an essay defending the importance of the discipline; the first book I had to read for one of my M.A. classes was called "Why Study History?"
I would support physical education more if the focus was physical education, and not who is the biggest, fastest, strongest. Because some students will never be able to compete with the more athletically focused students. Physical education should be about learning how to be a better you, not to be better than the other guy.

I don't usually hear people ask, "What are the real world applications of math?" Rather, I hear people ask, "When am I ever going to use this?" The real world applications of math at the high school level are innumerable. Trigonometry is used pretty much everywhere where you need to measure things. Calculus is the bedrock of physics. Algebra is necessary for understanding linear algebra, which is used whenever you have any sort of dynamic system with multiple inputs and outputs. Algebra is also used whenever you have unknown variables described by polynomials, which happens a lot in the sciences. That's the answer to "What are the applications?" But the answer to "When am I going to use this?" is pretty much always, "I don't know. What do I look like, a future seer?"
Social Studies is just the study of the social sciences. These include history, physical geography, human geography, civics/political science, economics, sociology, and psychology. I most American middle schools these subjects are all lumped into the same class. However, in high school (my high school at least) they tend to get their own separate classes. They're usually lumped together because the study of one often involves aspects of all the social sciences. For example, students looking at Canada in a geography class would study the physical geography, Canada's history, its economic and political landscapes, culture and human interactions with their environment (human geography), and general aspects of Canada's society (sociology).
I had several different technology classes that were extremely good in different ways. In one of them we learned about networking (IP and subnet configuration before windows did it all itself). Then learned to make network cable and helped to wire several classrooms with network cable and then configure all the computers to work on it. It was a blast for a high school class.
As someone who went to high school within the last 10 years I can’t really relate to the whole dichotomy of popular jocks and nerdy band kids. The complex of popularity was definitely still there but to me it seemed pretty arbitrarily defined. The worst thing you could be was a loner. On paper I was well liked but didn’t really have a social circle. I was envious of the “nerdy” kids who just had a good time with each other. I think in my generation there was a bigger emphasis on finding your people rather than climbing through the social ranks. It will be interesting to see how this dynamic continues to change over the years.
I always liked chemistry and thought biology was just as you described it. Then I learned about molecular biology and it put biology in a completely different light. You don't look at it as just memorizing facts anymore. Instead biology becomes the study of the mechanisms that allow biological machines to replicate, which is really cool.
My AP physics teacher brought in various lamps made with pure elements like sodium. It was pretty cool seeing single wavelength light illuminate a room
26:00 Back in Mexico, Geography class was basically the history of the planet Earth, learned about all the different eras, stuff about volcanoes, glaciers and other natural phenomena. I remember really enjoying it.
Geography being about where cities are is one of the biggest misconceptions unfortunately. Geography is my minor and it's about making and analyzing maps, climate and geology, agriculture, where to put industries, urban planing nad much more. It's a very varied field, but the first few years of school conditioned us to just think of it as capitlas and stuff. "Oh you study geography, whats's the capital of Malaysia?"
Art is important in that it teaches you to communicate ideas without words, which is useful for a wide range of things from UI design to directing to product development.
Im undergoing 5 years of chemistry atm in university, and then 3 more of biochemestry. I kind of agree chemistry sucks, but even trying to do any virology-work without it is impossible. Chemistry is better when you have an actual use of it instead of just learning shit because you have to. Our chemistry is strictly organic and with a biological emphasis. There is no better way to learn chemistry then trough the only lens you will use it with in the future
To be fair, the chem pracs never work. Like you go into a physics lab and it's like, here's what we're demonstrating and you do it and it just works™. Chem labs are like here's what doing; but also there's gunna be some unknown phenomena which means that the prac just is scuffed.
History teacher (Dutch) here. It is very much the case that the quallity of the class is dependant on the teacher. I have seniors that just prattle along without even trying to entice students. Now for what you can learn from history? Critical thinking skills is where I put my emphasis on. Impressive if you can name every gun in ww2 or all the battles in the American civil war. However I rather see my students uses skills like deductional reasoning, forming opinions, historical thinking, being able to shift their perspective from a modern day one to one of a person back then, strategic thinking, evidence gathering by scrutinizing sources, etc.
As someone who’s school board had social studies and not history it was like a mix of history, current events, and culture. A little bit of geography but it wasn’t a focus of the curriculum in high school
My highschool Chemistry teacher didn't care for the result as much as he did for your findings / analysis. if the result of your expiriment wasn't as it was expected, but in your documentation you outlined what went wrong, what should have happened at that step, and what happened you could still score an A/A-. because acording to my teacher "they can train monkeys to follow directions, what matters is that you can understand what is happening and why i happens"
I found out the use of Mathematics during my degree in it. It's not about using it in the real world it's the analytical process you learn. Being able to problem solve and think things through logically is really important for a lot of jobs and all these skills are best learnt through math. I have no idea why no teacher ever gave a good answer to why math is useful.
Probably because in the 90’s teachers didn’t anticipate the only jobs/education that would be valued by global capital would be those in science, engineers, computer/technology, and mathematics because the “first” world hadn’t yet fully committed to almost total deindustrialization and offshored all of its manufacturing to nations with a cheaper, much less protected labor force. Of course, they realize now we are living in service industry led nations which is why you will naturally see an over saturation in competition in STEM fields, driving down the wages where they will eventually settle above service industry jobs but not the orders of magnitude higher that they are now, just enough to draw a distinct presumption of hierarchy to maintain working class friction. Uh, I mean, lol it’s math four head, of course it’s valuable. I like it!!!
Considering he graduated high school around 13 years ago I certainly find it useful. I graduated 8 years ago and found it super useful to learn how to use word, power point and excel specially at a time not everyone had computers
@@thesphnx6836 he sounded like he didn't go in depth, he just had to type on it. I don't know man, I did typing classes, and I can confidently say that was the biggest waste in money I've done in my entire life. But you do you
As a chemistry teacher I can tell you we don't care if you get 1.2 grams instead of 3 grams, as long as you can point out at what parts of the process that might have gone wrong and why.
My history teacher would just have us read and retell the book 1 student per chapter in front of the class every class. It was mindnumbingly boring. She'd also sometimes fall asleep and the students would just go quiet to not wake her up. When she'd wake up, the presenter would just say how the chapter ended and got a good grade. That was hilarious, but I didn't learn shit in that class.
Just makes me depressed at how utterly deprived rural U.S. schools can be. "Our computer technology class didn't even teach coding!!" Uhh, you had a computer tech class??!
Bro have my high school career was computers lol. 2 computer science classes, web design, typing, cisco networking, hands on with switches and routers and such. My teacher sourced alot of equipment from closed down businesses and got donations and such. I also feel sorry for you guys.
Physics is by far my least favourite science. It's the only class that I have ever failed. Something about it just doesn't work in my brain. I'm fine at math, love other sciences, but physics is just pain.
I loved band. Took the main band class and multiple extracurricular band classes. We weren't considered dorks for liking band. Many of my classmates went on to having careers in it. I still love playing to this day.
as a chemistry major, math for me has been just a series of problems that make you figure out how to use the tools you've been given, it foundational for thinking in a more analytical way, but teachers just don't tell you the importance of that, unfortunately
History is the closest “conventional” class to an iterative, practical class. It’s like woodworking but with your brain; at least in History you’re taught how to formulate opinions.
The technologist Kai-Fu Lee predicted a relatively seamless Babelfish (1-3 second delay) in “about three years” in 2019. So it looks like it could be here before too long.
That teacher on your case for not knowing your Lemmings password? Did you a favour. Teaches you that you need to prove points you have. Branches off into TRUST. HUUUUGE life skill.
4:03 I take issue with that. Im not trying to diminish what chemists might do for society, but your content entertains tens of thousands of people. That's crazy! It's a way bigger positive impact than anyone can ever hope to have.
I think this is more on the tier-list maker for including both. They're the same subject just with different names, so egg just took it to be Geography (which is boring as hell from a school context)
I love art, but I hate art class in school. The fact that art class is structured makes it terrible because that isn’t what art is supposed to be. I remember I had this long term art substitute that was the single worst person I ever met in my entire life. I didn’t draw a single picture for 3 years afterwards until I started doodling on the white boards in math class, which is now the reason I love art again.
Music is my A+ but I had an extraordinarily good music teacher in high school. He wasn't the nicest teacher, but in term of doing his job, he was the best. I have 2 album (one sophomore and one senior) recording to my name due to that teacher, which is an extracurricular activity (I was public school, so that the activity could even happen was also extraordinary) he did with those who participated with the harmony and the jazz band, damn that those were tiring activities (playing tenor sax from morning to evening for me, as I was in both), but one of my only good memory of high school.
As a history major and soon to be teacher I believe I’m obligated to say history is S tier, not a fan of math but I do have to use some of it so I’ll give it c or b tier, it just depends 🤷🏻♂️
I think geometry was separate in math is because to me at least it focuses a lot more on why and how shapes work. I build a lot of havoc duct and geometry is the most important thing for me. I would put trig under geometry, it just focuses on triangles
Honestly music class is always poggy because of the comradery. You usually stick with the same people if you keep taking it throughout the years so you get that pog development
I agree chemistry isn't super fun, but I feel like it is extremely important to understand atoms as building blocks of our entire universe. Can you even call yourself educated in the modern world if you don't know what atoms and electrons are?
Damn totally different from mine. I love history but I'd put history class in F tier for how much they straight up omitted or lied about, and refused to teach us anything relevant to our actual current country. When I studied AP History and history on my own in college at the library and just digging through wikipedia, I found so much about our world that was just completely omitted in American schools. Art I'd put in A or B tier just because I genuinely enjoyed my time in art classes, but it's totally understandable to put it in F for most people. I've definitely had my share of bad art classes, and it really depends on your own interest in it and your teacher, like most subjects, but especially for something that is so dependent on personal interest and work. I do agree that schools should absolutely teach us more practical schools. Home Ed got cut the year I took it, and we never had economics or other similar classes. Never got taught how to do taxes or anything about our laws, stuff like that. Even my US Government class didn't talk about relevant/current laws or anything, we just got to learn about how the judicial system was formed and stuff like Roe v Wade, just a few huge specific cases. Gonna stop now before this rant gets any longer haha.
"Financial literacy" (In bc) = planning class. Planning class = even though someone set provincial records in track while on meth doesn't mean that meth is right for you
As someone who loves visual art and is pursuing a degree in it, I second that high school art classes are a low tier class, they mostly just teach bad techniques that art school forces you to unlearn and end up being really frustrating
One problem with math in high school is that it's almost all applied math. When I was in HS there was almost no math for the sake of pursuing math, just some courses (calc/pre-calc) that are supposed to help you in other subjects later on (science/engineering).
As a current Graduate student pursuing an MFA in painting, I do not blame you for putting Art in F tier. Although art is obviously my favorite subject the American and from what I heard of your experience the Canadian art education system’s are by and large sub par. I would even go on to say that art education is the subject most people are least educated in
I once subscribed to the belief that physics and math were superior, but once I started taking higher level courses, I realized I liked the life science better lol. When you don't get the math in physics and the higher dimensional problem solving/abstractness in math, they kinda suck.
If i may, as one of "your friends across the ocean" , I took french, german and a little spanish in highschool, each for a few years each. And i dont remember a single word i learned in any of those classes. Foreign language lessons in a classroom just arent all that affective in my opinion, you really need to have a sort of practical aspect to it, like having to actually speak or write in the language more than once a day. Thats probably why they had you teach english in Korea, without speaking much Korean.
In Alberta social studies is history class and geography, it's wrapped up nicely into one class. Great for freeing up the schedule for other classes. Although I do see the quiz is based on an American system, where it's separated.
Before clicking on this I asked myself how the Eggman could make a 48min video about school subjects into non-stop pogicity. No explanation needed, he just does.
Also, at least in the BC curriculum, social studies is history from grades 5-10 then grade 11 and 12 you can choose specifically if you want to take History, Geography, Human Geography, Law, etc
I absolutely felt that rant about the "dumb people classes" If I had been told that trades were actually useful and not for dumb people, I might have taken some of those classes, and now I regret that I didn't.

if the result of your expiriment wasn't as it was expected, but in your documentation you outlined what went wrong, what should have happened at that step, and what happened you could still score an A/A-.
because acording to my teacher "they can train monkeys to follow directions, what matters is that you can understand what is happening and why i happens"
We had a computers class in school and literally the only thing you had to do to pass was to make a Christmas card in word.
I found out the use of Mathematics during my degree in it. It's not about using it in the real world it's the analytical process you learn. Being able to problem solve and think things through logically is really important for a lot of jobs and all these skills are best learnt through math. I have no idea why no teacher ever gave a good answer to why math is useful.
they probably did but we're just too small brained to understand at that time
Probably because in the 90’s teachers didn’t anticipate the only jobs/education that would be valued by global capital would be those in science, engineers, computer/technology, and mathematics because the “first” world hadn’t yet fully committed to almost total deindustrialization and offshored all of its manufacturing to nations with a cheaper, much less protected labor force. Of course, they realize now we are living in service industry led nations which is why you will naturally see an over saturation in competition in STEM fields, driving down the wages where they will eventually settle above service industry jobs but not the orders of magnitude higher that they are now, just enough to draw a distinct presumption of hierarchy to maintain working class friction.
Uh, I mean, lol it’s math four head, of course it’s valuable. I like it!!!
The end of this video was the absolute cutest thing ever
"One of our assignments for computer class was to write a movie review. And why it was computer based?
It had to be written in Microsoft Word"
Bro...
Considering he graduated high school around 13 years ago I certainly find it useful. I graduated 8 years ago and found it super useful to learn how to use word, power point and excel specially at a time not everyone had computers
@@thesphnx6836 he sounded like he didn't go in depth, he just had to type on it. I don't know man, I did typing classes, and I can confidently say that was the biggest waste in money I've done in my entire life. But you do you
Hated history myself. My A+ tier would contain math, physical education and maybe geography, but I'd consider it for A tier.
Single best part of this video is the cheeky C++ ranking change
As a chemistry teacher I can tell you we don't care if you get 1.2 grams instead of 3 grams, as long as you can point out at what parts of the process that might have gone wrong and why.
That technology teachers class was pure gold. Just... WTF?! 72 year old computer tracher?!
That chemistry bit at the beginning had me dying lmao
All native English speakers everywhere for the past 70 years: "Won't we have a translation device soon?"
My history teacher would just have us read and retell the book 1 student per chapter in front of the class every class. It was mindnumbingly boring.
She'd also sometimes fall asleep and the students would just go quiet to not wake her up. When she'd wake up, the presenter would just say how the chapter ended and got a good grade.
That was hilarious, but I didn't learn shit in that class.
Actuarial science is good example of a real world application of math.
Just makes me depressed at how utterly deprived rural U.S. schools can be. "Our computer technology class didn't even teach coding!!" Uhh, you had a computer tech class??!
Bro have my high school career was computers lol. 2 computer science classes, web design, typing, cisco networking, hands on with switches and routers and such. My teacher sourced alot of equipment from closed down businesses and got donations and such. I also feel sorry for you guys.
@@ktfjulien can you tell us the timeline for your education ? cause i feel early 2000, computers weren't that common
"...the world's smartest idiot"
That is the most relatable thing I have ever heard.
“And that’s my take on the subject.”
Yep. It literally is.
I gotta admit, having my undergrad education being validated by an egg felt really good
Physics is by far my least favourite science. It's the only class that I have ever failed. Something about it just doesn't work in my brain. I'm fine at math, love other sciences, but physics is just pain.
Did I write this comment? I feel identically my friend
I loved band. Took the main band class and multiple extracurricular band classes. We weren't considered dorks for liking band. Many of my classmates went on to having careers in it. I still love playing to this day.
as a chemistry major, math for me has been just a series of problems that make you figure out how to use the tools you've been given, it foundational for thinking in a more analytical way, but teachers just don't tell you the importance of that, unfortunately
As a teenager just a decade ago this hits deep.
1. As a history major, HELL YEA brother
2. Graduated 2016, major band/choir kid, as well as student council kid, and had no problems
History is the closest “conventional” class to an iterative, practical class. It’s like woodworking but with your brain; at least in History you’re taught how to formulate opinions.
The technologist Kai-Fu Lee predicted a relatively seamless Babelfish (1-3 second delay) in “about three years” in 2019. So it looks like it could be here before too long.
1st year of chemistry: oh hey this is pretty fun
2nd year: oh hey this isnt very fun at all
To be fair we didnt have a lab so, it was mostly written
That teacher on your case for not knowing your Lemmings password? Did you a favour. Teaches you that you need to prove points you have. Branches off into TRUST. HUUUUGE life skill.
I love when the streams feature The Child, such a fine adition to the Nlverse
I was gonna spaz out if Ryan put Music in anything below B.
My man didn’t let me down. Truly cultured this one is.
4:03 I take issue with that. Im not trying to diminish what chemists might do for society, but your content entertains tens of thousands of people. That's crazy! It's a way bigger positive impact than anyone can ever hope to have.
"Don't bite my headphone cord!"
Her brothers have taught her well
You're really putting Social Studies in F after putting History in A+?
I think this is more on the tier-list maker for including both. They're the same subject just with different names, so egg just took it to be Geography (which is boring as hell from a school context)
@@GroundThing in the country i live they aren't close to the same subject
@@GroundThing social study is mostly how goverment works, what a few philosopher thought meanwhile history, is well history
I love art, but I hate art class in school. The fact that art class is structured makes it terrible because that isn’t what art is supposed to be. I remember I had this long term art substitute that was the single worst person I ever met in my entire life. I didn’t draw a single picture for 3 years afterwards until I started doodling on the white boards in math class, which is now the reason I love art again.
Music is my A+ but I had an extraordinarily good music teacher in high school. He wasn't the nicest teacher, but in term of doing his job, he was the best. I have 2 album (one sophomore and one senior) recording to my name due to that teacher, which is an extracurricular activity (I was public school, so that the activity could even happen was also extraordinary) he did with those who participated with the harmony and the jazz band, damn that those were tiring activities (playing tenor sax from morning to evening for me, as I was in both), but one of my only good memory of high school.
Math is a lot like history honestly. It explains why the universe is the way it is, and as a bonus you can use is for problem solving.
Truly NL has surpassed all knowledge by blessing us with this gift
As someone who isn’t good with building things, who went to college for Computer Science, his programming talk really hit different
As a history major and soon to be teacher I believe I’m obligated to say history is S tier, not a fan of math but I do have to use some of it so I’ll give it c or b tier, it just depends 🤷🏻♂️
The biology ranking cut deep, but I agree with you in terms of how it's usually taught.
This is all a secret ploy to get his daughter to do history
I think geometry was separate in math is because to me at least it focuses a lot more on why and how shapes work. I build a lot of havoc duct and geometry is the most important thing for me. I would put trig under geometry, it just focuses on triangles
At my school like damn near everyone was in band so there was no problem being in it
His story about his music class reminds me of that quantum leap scene, you know the one
Words can't describe the quality of your content. I hope that you hit that 1M subscriber count ASAP.
Honestly music class is always poggy because of the comradery. You usually stick with the same people if you keep taking it throughout the years so you get that pog development
I agree chemistry isn't super fun, but I feel like it is extremely important to understand atoms as building blocks of our entire universe. Can you even call yourself educated in the modern world if you don't know what atoms and electrons are?
Damn totally different from mine. I love history but I'd put history class in F tier for how much they straight up omitted or lied about, and refused to teach us anything relevant to our actual current country. When I studied AP History and history on my own in college at the library and just digging through wikipedia, I found so much about our world that was just completely omitted in American schools. Art I'd put in A or B tier just because I genuinely enjoyed my time in art classes, but it's totally understandable to put it in F for most people. I've definitely had my share of bad art classes, and it really depends on your own interest in it and your teacher, like most subjects, but especially for something that is so dependent on personal interest and work. I do agree that schools should absolutely teach us more practical schools. Home Ed got cut the year I took it, and we never had economics or other similar classes. Never got taught how to do taxes or anything about our laws, stuff like that. Even my US Government class didn't talk about relevant/current laws or anything, we just got to learn about how the judicial system was formed and stuff like Roe v Wade, just a few huge specific cases. Gonna stop now before this rant gets any longer haha.
Absolutely pogged content today, glad to see the music subject on the high rises
"Financial literacy" (In bc) = planning class. Planning class = even though someone set provincial records in track while on meth doesn't mean that meth is right for you
As someone who loves visual art and is pursuing a degree in it, I second that high school art classes are a low tier class, they mostly just teach bad techniques that art school forces you to unlearn and end up being really frustrating
Can tell this gonna be some great content thx pal.
One problem with math in high school is that it's almost all applied math. When I was in HS there was almost no math for the sake of pursuing math, just some courses (calc/pre-calc) that are supposed to help you in other subjects later on (science/engineering).
"That was the teacher from my elementary school that got fired for embezzling pizza money" the laugh I let out
As a current Graduate student pursuing an MFA in painting, I do not blame you for putting Art in F tier. Although art is obviously my favorite subject the American and from what I heard of your experience the Canadian art education system’s are by and large sub par. I would even go on to say that art education is the subject most people are least educated in
"I think if you had to cut a science class... I think chemistry would be pretty close to the top of the list."
First of all, how dare you
I once subscribed to the belief that physics and math were superior, but once I started taking higher level courses, I realized I liked the life science better lol. When you don't get the math in physics and the higher dimensional problem solving/abstractness in math, they kinda suck.
If i may, as one of "your friends across the ocean" , I took french, german and a little spanish in highschool, each for a few years each.
And i dont remember a single word i learned in any of those classes.
Foreign language lessons in a classroom just arent all that affective in my opinion, you really need to have a sort of practical aspect to it, like having to actually speak or write in the language more than once a day.
Thats probably why they had you teach english in Korea, without speaking much Korean.
In Alberta social studies is history class and geography, it's wrapped up nicely into one class. Great for freeing up the schedule for other classes. Although I do see the quiz is based on an American system, where it's separated.
Before clicking on this I asked myself how the Eggman could make a 48min video about school subjects into non-stop pogicity. No explanation needed, he just does.
Also, at least in the BC curriculum, social studies is history from grades 5-10 then grade 11 and 12 you can choose specifically if you want to take History, Geography, Human Geography, Law, etc
what's BC ?
I absolutely felt that rant about the "dumb people classes"
If I had been told that trades were actually useful and not for dumb people, I might have taken some of those classes, and now I regret that I didn't.
History class is pretty much a big ol warning in red saying " DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE "
A rare baby on camera blessed video. You love to see it
The hardest class I ever took in high school was definitely AP Calculus. Integrals and derivatives were so challenging to wrap my head around.
