I'm going to extrapolate a theory based on the following premise: unused memories fade. - The things you learn in elementary school are very fundamental and you probably use them often. - High school branches off from the fundamentals; I got straight A's in geometry, algebra, and calculus, yet I remember very little of them. I do remember everything I ever learned in my two CS classes (I am a programmer now). - The important thing about high school is not what you learn, but that it becomes possible for you to learn what you want/like to learn and do.
