It's not often I've found myself saying 'I never thought when I learnt that at school it would ever come in useful' but recently I used something I'd learnt in needlework of all things to help at work when I was learning to do threading of eyebrows.

What is the most useful thing you have ever learnt at school and why?

I learned that my married Geography teacher was having an affair with one of the English teachers.

That proved very useful the time he tried to give me a detention.

How to avoid slimy drunk guys has come in handy throughout the years.  Had a math teacher to thank for that one.

Hannah couldn't - she could just about write letters and her name, but couldn't really read anything.

lol. I remember we used to cram about 6 of us in the far cubicle in the bogs and all spark up - must have been a massive cloud of smoke and would have stunk, but we never got done. Only time I got caught was outside ffs! My dad gave me a bollocking for getting caught and said he thought I was more clever than that.

maybe I was bright for my age. obv didn't last long

I think the most useful thing I learnt was how to get away with doing stuff I shouldn't be doing. this has helped me more than any other individual skill in my life so far
