Seriously

I don’t see why I have to learn what William Shakespeare meant in his shitty plays that no ones cares about while I have no idea how to do basic things like file taxes or get a mortgage. Aka things I actually will do someday, rather than boring words on a page written in old English

1) Shakespeare is still modern English. :)

2) You can ask your parents how to do taxes or get a mortgage.

I have a master's degree in taxation, it isn't something they are gonna teach you in high school

Like there are only 700 commercials from Turbotax (I am LITERALLY listening to one as I type this) and H&R Block from Jan-Apr on TV, hint: Maybe you can use that service

It makes you more cultured and reading trains your brain to be able to understand more complex stuff easier.

You can argue that one specific example, fine. The overall point is that there could be much better usage of time. When I had to fill out papers when I got hired awhile back, I was genuinely confused about how to fill out the papers. Where I could and arguably should be learning about how to do things I will actually need to do in life, schools would rather we know what happened in 1544. It's just kind of a waste in my opinion
