Not necessarily, subjects such as math, science and foriegn language have failed in terms of teaching information that can be used in real world situations. These classes stop working properly as early as junior high. They become classes of useless knowledge that is only being taught so you can pass the exams. No teacher has been able to explain to me when or why I would ever be calculating log functions, the coefficient of friction, or say "where is the library" in spanish. Of course, if I ever wanted to become an advanced algebra teacher, physics teacher, or spanish teacher, I might find better uses for this crap. I took a survey on the amount of teachers that remembered anything that was taught to them when they took a foriegn language class in school. Not suprisingly, almost all the teachers had little to no knowledge of what they were taught. Ever ask a parent or relative for help with your math homework? I have, and they had no clue, these were very intellegent, successful people mind you. These classes no longer teach anything, they only make you remember things long enough so you can pass the test.

Hmm... i'd just like to say that you can use Maths after you're done with school. Like for example as a programmer, you use alot of maths. And, it widenes your ligical thinking.
ABout the skipping class thing... I feel like skipping class all the time. But the teachers would notice... Well, except when we have this really stupid teacher. When my school-mates say they go to the bathroom, they just go outside doing something else... I don't know why, but if it was me... he'd notice it. Bah, life is weird.
