Then each student takes an exam and that determines where they go on the list they filled out. Better students get into better schools. If you don't want to study a specific language you just don't enter it in the first place.

kinda sounds like you're cappin? you can't possibly be put in a random school. if that were to be the case they'd all be the same education wise, which evidently isn't the case if you're studying a lang you don't even want.

Yes, in most instances in the United States your school is pre-determined based on where your location is. School districting creates zones where each zone is assigned a particular elementary, middle, and high school.

The point of school isn't to learn about trigonometry, yes you will never need to re-use the relationships between triangle angles and their side lengths ever again in your life. The point is that school molds you into the ability to think logically and creatively. You take arts and language arts classes to expose you to what limits of creativity have been achieved in the past, you take history class to broaden your perception of the World through the ages. The point of science classes is to instill rationality and the Scientific method in you so that you learn how to think about the world and solve problems with a methodical solution. Math class similarly causes you to stretch your analytical and rationalizing skills further. Phys Ed is because you spend all day on OGU Shitposting about if school is necessary or not.

Can you use Arabic in your life? If you really focus on learning it and focus on it, abso-fucking-lutely. Having solid grasps of middle-eastern languages can open a wide variety of doors for you both in business dealings and if you wanted, in intelligence services as a translator to the dozens of international intelligence agencies desperate for Arabic speakers.

Stop viewing school as a mindset of a chore to do every day because you will end up hating it inevitably. Reframe your mindset towards viewing school as a way to improve your base set of skills that help you analyze and solve problems you encounter in the future. Making the most of school and the opportunities that you don't even know exist because you're too busy whining about it would serve you well in the long term
