Primary and secondary school should provide enough education to get you started and after that get out the way. We make choices in eating because we are knowledgeable enough to decide what makes a good choice. But the curriculum of schools is just insane. Fatter years, they add more classes, leaner years they cut back to the basics. The kids are caught in the middle of these 12 year experiments. And the results can't be seen for atleast 20 years.
Some schools want to prepare students for college and others just want to get off the D-list of NCLB.
If anything schools should do what they were outlined to do 200 years ago. Provide a baseline of education. If you want additional classes provide them after school or on the weekends. If you've passed the baseline then there is no need to stick around for 2-3 years. Get out, go to college or get an apprenticeship.
