I learned more about the possible volatile reactions of household chemicals from freshman history and video games than my chem class.
That said, American schools do a piss-poor job of teaching the practical applications of anything. I had to take two algebra classes, trig and pre calc to graduate high school but not one fucking personal finance course was available. I can solve triangles like a boss but I'm flat fucking broke!
