We have known the language from before we were born, there have been studies showing that babies pick up words while in the womb.
If we have our grammar down(which we should by about 3rd grade) then what more is there to do? If kids don't fix their grammar by middle school there really is no point in continuing forcing them to take the classes, it won't change anything.

English classes help you learn to do things like write lengthy papers, which is very important later on in life

Oh yes, can't forget the importance of book reports and comparative essays in the real world

Critical lens essays were invented by Satan himself to torture high school students.

Idk if you are being sarcastic but yes these things are very important in a lot of ways. There are careers in which they are not as important, but you can't just pick and choose what you learn at high school. Despite hating art and knowing that I will never be an artist, you still have to take it, because some people might want to be an artist, you know?

I understand english classes

but if all we ever do for 6 years straight (like we did at our old school) is

"write a story under so and so theme"

and

"comparative essay for so and so thing"

and

"comprehension from a crappy novel"

and

"read a poorly written novel and write 4 pages on why it is the most excellent novel ever made"

it's not really worth it

it makes sense to do those things, but not all of the time

add ~3500 to my post count because it totally matters

I really hate art but I was forced to take it.

And I also took Spanish, which was basically art because the teacher thought that we might learn better if we colored in pictures of spanish speaking countries

Taking Spanish honors was the worst choice I ever made, it's so boring I just sleep in class and it killed my GPA.

"I really hate art but I was forced to take it."

I would have been fine with it had it not been so tedious and lengthy

literally all it ever was was "copy so-and-so artist"

fortunately in year 7 and 8 (ages 11-13, I don't know what you call it in America) I got the chance to take up Ancient Greek, so I did, and my god it was infinitely less boring

"And I also took Spanish, which was basically art because the teacher thought that we might learn better if we colored in pictures of spanish speaking countries"

yup

a lot of teachers tried to patronise us by forcing us to draw things

but the worst offender was the geography teacher whose lessons were literally just "copy the stuff off the board, draw in this"

and I swear the spanish/french teacher was a peadough

These sorts of things really make me believe this statement:

I love learning but I hate school

"I love learning but I hate school"

yes

this

pretty much everything about my old school was unbearable and terrible (except for a handful of insignificant things) except for the level of education they gave, which was enough to give my parents delusions about that nothing was wrong with it at all and no bad was ever happening there
