"That’s what I hated about school - it felt like such a waste of time, learning stuff that I was probably going to forget."

Some people go to gyms, where they exert themselves pointlessly - they're not drawing water, generating electricity, or moving materials uphill.

They seem to think that the process somehow improves them. Modern medicine apparently agrees with them.

If that is not the case with whatever exercises are done in school, perhaps we could get better proof than "it felt".
