It's not like you'll probably ever need Arithmancy once you leave school, y'know? Or History. Or, well, most of the stuff we have to read. Spells and some of the theory behind them, yeah. That stuff's practical, right? But the rest is only useful for a few professions, and then it's probably more about shaking out the field so they only get applications from people who are really well-suited for whatever it is, and then when you get into training, they teach it all to you again.
They've been talking to us about Auror training, and that's totally what it sounds like. The first nine months or so are all in the classroom and on the sparring floor, and Travers was telling us today that they pretty much assume they'll have to get us to bin all sorts of nonsense we studied at school and unlearn loads of bad habits we picked up there.
