I have been thinking about things I haven't used since high school. Been wondering if high school was just a waste of time. If there should have been trades or specialization. I never used MLA formatting in more than a decade.

This format is actually used. In colleges and universities, especially in the humanities and social sciences, the MLA format is often used for coursework, for example. But students usually get lazy and decide to pay for essay writing, find https://ca.edubirdie.com/pay-for-essay-writing for help. In short, they can’t come up with anything. I would remove half of the formats altogether; they make no sense.
