The only person you are truly cheating is yourself. There are a lot of things that you might not think you will use later on in life, but you would be wrong. As far as history and stuff goes, a lot of people think it isn't important, as long as they know how to read and write. But you get out of it what you put into it, so if you cheat, well, you won't get anything out of it, if this is how you want to go about life. Just my opinion...
