Why do we have to learn science in high school

It's soo boring, going through every damn big text books and reading about boring stuff that won't even be useful in life. the only fun thing about science is doing experiments that's it. : p

So why do we have to learn science?

I understand the lack of excitement toward science to those uninterested in the field, but science is the basis of the world. You can apply it to any aspect of life. It would be a lot more fun if high school science taught cool stuff. My chemistry class's latest experiment: making salt water. Science is important, but I agree that our high schools could do a lot better. English, on the other hand, has no purpose. This subject is acceptable to complain about because the only part of it that can be applied to the life of anyone who is not an English teacher is reading and writing.

I feel you. But think about this, if you don't learn science, how can you stay healthy? How do you know which part of your body needs improvement? If you get injured, sick, or some kind of cancer or diseases, how can you tell the doctor or yourself what part of your body, inside and out, is the source of the disease? Doctors might ask questions pertaining to body parts internal and external about your history problems. So science do play a part in our lives. However, the more advanced science subject, they went too far with that. If you're really interested in becoming a nurse, doctor, or pharmacy worker, than learn those advanced subject. But sometimes they will force you learn those advanced topics of science, and you might be thinking, "Why do I have to learn this? I don't even want to be a nurse or doctor!" I have those feelings too.

Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. In an older and closely related meaning (found, for example, in Aristotle), "science" refers to the body of reliable knowledge itself, of the type that can be logically and rationally explained. Since classical antiquity science as a type of knowledge was closely linked to philosophy. In the early modern era the words "science" and "philosophy" were sometimes used interchangeably in the English language. By the 17th century, natural philosophy (which is today called "natural science") was considered a separate branch of philosophy. However, "science" continued to be used in a broad sense denoting reliable knowledge about a topic, in the same way it is still used in modern terms such as library science or political science.
