Hard disagree here. When I was in school, there were constant discussions among the teenagers about "why do I need to learn a dead language (irish)", "why do I need to learn french/german, they can all speak english", "why do I need to study geography, I'm never going to need to be able to categorise volcanic vs fold mountains".
