None of the skills I've learned for things I use in real life are skills I learned from school.

Grammar and writing? Microsoft Word and Grammarly constantly pointed out grammar mistakes, helping me hammer in queues that made sure I was consistent.
Math? b***h please, even if I need to use math, a calculator is enough for most problems I have.
History? Okay, maybe school helped a LITTLE with that, but the internet is surprisingly good at teaching that too, sometimes WAY better than school ever could.
Science? I've learned more about science from Kurzgesagt, Veritasium, ASAP Science, and so many other YouTubers than I EVER have from school.
And everything else school as ever tried and failed to cover, I learned from tutorials, as well as real-life experiences.

School was a waste of a decade-and-a-half of my life, and I didn't even graduate due to how poorly they taught me.
