First off, English is way more useful than most think... Up until maybe about grade 10 or so...
Second, which class is most useless completely depends on the career the person is pursuing... EX: Someone could be going for a job as a Computer engineer, and therefore things such as P.E would be useless, but for someone learning to become something such as a P.E teacher or open up their own Gym or something like that, P.E would be super useful.
In my opinion though, History is basically useless. unless your looking to be a teacher or a historian, no one cares about what happened in the past.

Reaction to Skyward Sword: Why do so many hate this beauty...

Even though I know that we're all supposed to be looking towards the future, History is actually a pretty important subject in my opinion. It may be just the fact that it's my favorite subject in school, but Social Studies is also pretty important if you want to become someone in the government like a prime minister or a president because it helps you to understand how governmental structures like those of the Greeks, Romans and Aztecs worked backed then. Some of their governmental structures have influenced the world as we see it today.

If all of us give a little bit of something to a good cause, we can help to make that cause happen.
I disagree with everything you said. I think we should go even further than English and require public speaking and debate classes. Everybody should to know how to research, think logically, form ideas, and present them.
PE is important for physical fitness. We're putting restrictions on recess rules and PE classes and we wonder why kids are fat. Yeah the obesity epidemic is more complex than that but really now?
History is important to know because we can learn from our past mistakes. Civilizations rose and civilizations fell. We can look at what made them successful and what led to their downfall. We can learn from our past mistakes. History repeats itself. We need to know history to understand current issues as well. You can't understand the situation in the Middle East without looking at history. You understand the situation with Ukraine and Russia without looking at history.
It doesn't matter whether or not you want to be a teacher, historian, or politician. The main subjects in school, Math, English, History/Geography, Science are all important. There's a lot of bad rep towards memorization. But memorization ingrains these concepts or facts into your head and later on you can make connections to new ideas with the facts you know.
Also, there's more to life than just material success guys.

Pottery. No really. I'm the only one in my class/school that "likes" pottery thought I hate it. And pottery took away 1 period of 1h30m of science a week.
To be honest? English. Generally, you'd have normal grammar when you turn 12. I certainly did. But no, you still have to learn English because "ermagerd sherrkshphurr".
Fun fact. Our grade 10 English teacher felt it was necessary to go over grammar and punctuation exercises. Not because she was unrealistic though. It was because literally half the class's grammar was that bad. It was something she did on a limb after we handed in a major written assignment.
Obviously nothing. All classes in school serve some purpose.
Most useless. Implying that our answers should be the classes that have the least use, not the ones that are completely useless.
For the most useless class, I would say Food Tech. I don't see a reason for learning to cook in school, especially when all we do is a few very specific dishes and pointless tasks like "design a restaurant" rather than practical ones like general instructions for cooking.
I'm learning how to be a battlemage, so I have no idea why the archmage is making us learn alchemy. I want to destroy my enemies, not throw potions at them!

Probably visual arts since they often just do silly crafts and colouring assignments. Visual arts is basically the class designed for the lesser talented so they CAN get an art credit as music and drama are too complicated for them. Anyone who is actually interested in the field of visual-arts basically wastes their time and doesn't learn anything new.

I completely agree, you can learn so much form the past, and keep yourself informed, even about the future. It helps prevent the same mistakes from repeating.
And the most useless classes?
-Mythology (Yeah gotta know about those fake gods *facepalm*)
-Sports sewing (I understand sports medicine, but sewing?.....)
-Plant/soil science
Sounds pretty useful to me. Just like Art Appreciation. How should I listen/view music/art and form an unbiased opinion on it? Or look at the symbolism within the piece of said music/art.
To be honest; there are no useless classes in my opinion. Since the word useless means without use, point or usefulness, and every class has its use, no matter what career one pursues, there cannot be a useless class and therefore, no uselessest class.
Indeed, even if one was to become a cooper or a thatcher, a knowledge of hair and beauty may come in handy for ones day to day life and grooming.
As a college grad, I disagree with pretty much everything said in this thread so far. For example, without high school English, you would never be able to write good research papers in college nor present information in an effective way once you get a real job. If you didn't take middle school health class, by the time you got halfway through high school there would be a noticeable increase in the number of teenaged single mothers!
You don't disagree that library science is a pretty useless class right?

Breaking Bad was filmed here, and that is the only thing people really give a damn about.
Don't be dissin mah jam.

Want/need me to see your reply? Make sure to quote my previous post, and I'll get back to you ASAP.

That sounds like a boring elective.... hope it's not a mandatory class LOL.
It's a mandatory half credit for freshman.
