I recall spending an entire class where we had to brainstorm all the different slangs for various body parts and sexual acts. Funny stuff when you are in high school, but hardly valuable from an education standpoint.

Well the thing is in highschool they seemed to stress that everyone needed to learn how to speak French, or What happened in 1400's Europe. But you could goof off in Bussiness education (at least thats what they called it when I was in school). When I was in grade 10 they made it into a mandatory course, but they also assigned the shop teacher to teach the class (although he probably was the only teacher who had relevant real world skills so he probably was best suited to teach that class!) and more or less gave the impression like it wasn't an important class. I used to do my work first, than I would do my sales copy which wasn't as good and had blatent mistakes. Than I'd duplicate that copy and sell it to the other kids. Than the teacher would get me to mark all the work for him because we usually had 4 classes to do what was like a half hours work.
