Nothing..... Every piece of knowledge has been a contributor to learn the next step and that's what have gotten us to what we are/know today, even the pieces we may see as disproven today.

  2. The Universe is expanding, but gravity is slowing down the rate of expansion.
  3. Cells are a sack of protoplasm.
  4. Only Saturn has rings.
  5. The first men came to the Americas via a northern land bridge.
  6. The first men in the Americas were of Asian descent
  7. Neanderthals are totally extinct.

Not many. I’d give my US public school education a solid B. The problem was what they omitted … but that wasn’t the schools fault, it was our political culture.. Sure made for some amazing lectures in college US History though 😉

That algebra will be useful in real life.

You may not personally use algebra, but without higher math we would not have any modern conveniences. We would be stuck in a lifestyle as The Romans or their contemporaries lived. Hail Caesar.
