Writer's Block: Educate Me

[murphtang]

I think, especially later in their school education, far too much emphasis gets put on the sciences, and not enough on the arts and humanities.  I was never any good at sciences (dear lord did I try so hard, and fail so hard), but I got good marks in all my other subjects, especially English and History.  I always felt, however, that too much

im not so sure hun...i dont see where art can take you in the career world apart from an artist. i fully respect your opinion though =] loved history by the way a* ;)

Tbh, where can science take you unless you want to go into research? The most useful subject, really, is being able to understand people, which is culture, which is a lot of humanities (art included). Of course, basic maths=essential. But why do I need to know about differentials, etc? Surely my accountant can do that for me ;)
