Don't remember almost any facts from high school! Mostly just really basic math and physics formulae, and a little bit of history. Makes me wonder what the point of high school really was!
-
No!
-
Yes, quite a bit, especially much of the Spanish I learned. Math? Nope.
-
@mrbee: I remember very little, my DH on the other hand... remembers most of it! He'll pull out random things that he remembers from grade 10 science or grade 11 math all the time. It's crazy!
-
Math, no. But I had excellent English and History teachers, as well as Spanish.
-
I have a good memory but did not attend a good hs... so... a lot?
-
Not really. I didn't care so much about education until I was an adult, on my own, and paying for my own education. I have learned so much in college the last two years because I really care about it now.
-
I remember a lot from HS.
College.. not so much!
-
Not as much from high school or college as I would've liked! If you don't use it often it's so easy to lose it unfortunately!
-
I will always and forever remember Year 9 History. My teacher was super animated about the Russian Revolution. The Cossacks Are Coming!! Not sure how much relevance that has in my daily life but it stuck haha
Generally, I think most of what we learnt in high school seeped into my brain somewhere, a lot of it forgotten or supressed. I can't remember anything about algebra or chemistry formulas, but some pops up as random trivia. Year 12 Psychology class comes into action in my daily life trying to wrangle/manipulate a kid
-
Yes, I use a ton of it day to day!
-
@chopsuey: same!!
-
Nope. But I can recite all the words to Mo Money, Mo Problems. They should teach all school stuff in the form of song.
-
I used to think no, I don't remember stuff from high school .... Until my 4 year old started asking questions about things she learns about in preschool: dinosaurs, plants, why the ocean is salty, stars/constellations, recycling...
Sometimes as I'm answering her questions, I'm like 'WOW, so smart!!' Then I realize it's all stuff I learned in high school Earth Science class LOL
-
I think it was a good background for college and beyond. I have a horrible memory so I probably can't tell you exactly what I learned in high school.
I know I struggled in my English classes but gradually I got better.
-
I can still remember the causes of WWI and II from history class. All of my Latin and French are from HS because I never took those again. Trig didn't stick, but geometry did.
Oh yeah my literature from the American South class was better than any college English class I took!
-
@bluestriped bee: I agree. I don't know if I can recall specific random facts learned in HS. I think that has to do with the individual persons memory and how well they are at trivia type things. I look at is as more as a base that I built. Just because I can't remember specific facts doesn't mean that I could have just skipped HS all together and moved straight to college...
-
Yep! I think I learned more in hs than college
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: it's like the more money we come across, the more problems we see...
-
Yup I remember a lot. Maybe not a specific trig formula but overall I think I retained a lot of information. I went to an excellent school with great teachers.
-
I learned social skills and that high school was just something you had to get through, but nothing educational. I still remember and use what I learned in college.
-
I remember a little, but most of it is gone, especially the math.
