I was trying to fix a curtain the other day and cursed myself for not paying attention in 6th-grade Home Economics class. And not a month goes by when I don't hear my 10th grade American History teacher's voice in my head. Or my 8th grade teacher's grammar class when I can remember how to reword passive voice in a document, or whether I used a dangling participle in it. :) I'm pretty sure the idea that "90% of what you learn is school is a waste" is just some bullshit spun by adults who got poor grades, various BS artists hawking something (or even their own persona), or people that want to restructure schooling in the US (which might not be a bad thing... in some cases).
