How much does learning in school actually help you in your adult life?

Math teaches you to solve issues and think logically. Literature teaches you to think critically, form your thoughts and learn how to express them. History, geography and other science classes teach you about yourself and the world you live in. Art and music classes teach you to use and develop your creative skills. PE teaches you to be physically active, and team sports teach you to cooperate and socialize. Language classes teach you, well, languages, which has all kinds of benefits in life.

I can't remember all the subjects you have in school, but each one of them is there to teach you a broader skill that you will need in life. The "point" of school is not just to give you information about stuff, but to teach you how to live and use your brain.
