I don't think we had a social studies class in my school unless it was called something else. I don't know what social studies would be... do you learn how to socialize?
I assumed social studies is what we in my country call community subject which includes things like politics, the UN and cultural differences and similarities. ?

Yeah, symbolism makes no sense to me either.
Teacher: "What does the author really say here?"
Me: "????????????"
I never go looking for hidden meanings, nor am I convinced that the authors had any. I certainly don't have any hidden meaning in anything I write, and I take what I read at face value. Literature equals yawn and confusion.
I forgot to mention technical drawing which I didn't get at all. (Or simply drawing for that matter. I can't draw something realistic looking. I'm no better now than when I was a little kid.) One of the high schools I quit put me through technical drawing. I had a book full of examples I was to copy. In the 2-3 months I went to that school I didn't get past drawing number 1.
